	Mixing watercolour paints		2008-09-07
		From bob: So, I'm making a chart to help me mix watercolor paints. There are 25 different paints. Each paint will mix with another paint just 1 time. There is no need to mix red with blue, and then blue with red. Since the result is the same, we only need 1 combination of the 2 paints. And there is no need to mix red with red, so we can eliminate 25 combinations of the same paint. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Three colouring the USA map		2007-11-15
		From Hammed: Prove that if each of the 50 states in the USA is assigned one of the colors red, white, or blue, then some pair of adjacent states must have the same color. (If you think that Arizona and Colorado are adjacent, then you may not consider New Mexico and Utah to be adjacent, too. You can't have it both ways!) Answered by Victoria West.

	A hat of a different color		2002-02-24
		From Kirstin: A teacher made a deal with 3 of his students. He said that if you can guess what color hat you have on your head without looking, I will pass you. There were 2 red hats and 3 blue hats. The deal worked like this: The three students would close there eyes, and the teacher would put a hat on each of their heads and then hide the other 2. Then one at a time, the students would open their eyes and try to figure out what color hat was on their head. The student could guess or pass. This is what happened when they put their deal to the test: A boy named Arturo was first and opened his eyes but wasn't sure so he passed so he didn't get it wrong. Belicia was next and she passed too because she wasn't sure. Also she thought about the fact that Arturo didn't know. Carletta was last and without even opening her eyes, she knew for sure what color hat she was wearing and her answer was right. So i have to figure out what color hat she's wearing for sure.

	4 Color map Theorem		2000-06-02
		From Rick Slen: I am challenging my students to find a map that can not be coloured using only 4 colours. I know that it is not possible, but one boy drew a map with a "country" totally surrounding all the others so of course it touched all other colours. How do I explain that this type of map is not permissable? Answered by Denis Hanson.
