Edwarda and thread, Here's a pea for your mattress: A friend posed this problem to me. Suppose you are on the Let's Make a Deal show, and Monty Hall gives you the choice of three curtains. Behind two of the curtains is a goat, but behind the third is a Rolls Royce. Monty asks you to choose a curtain, which you do. Now, to make it interesting he lifts a curtain that reveals a goat, and gives you the option to switch your choice to the other curtain. Should you switch, and if you do, why? I think I know the answer, but I'd love to hear from the thread on this. If you PM me I will reveal my solution TTFN, CTC

Here is another suggestion for something that may be done with a pea, from Viz Top Tips: "Make your own matches by painting a pea red, soaking it in petrol overnight, then pronging it on the end of a cocktail stick." G. Dawson Bletchley In the same spirit: "Old shoelaces should never be thrown away. Soak them overnight in petrol, roll them in lard, then pop them in the fridge for a few hours. Hey presto. Perfect candles." Rose Gray Godalming And one more petrol suggestion: "A red balloon, full of petrol, tied to the end of a broom shank would make a perfect fairy tale giant's match." G. Dawson Bletchley
