Problem of the Week
for Friday, November 21

 

John smith has entrusted you with his most prized possession (sadly, it's a Limited Edition Chewbacca action figure)/ Now he wants it back. The thing is, you're both in prison (same prison, different cells). You have the action figure, its trophy case, a padlock and the key. John Smith also has a padlock and key, but they are different from yours. His key won't open your lock and your key won't open his lock. the guard has agreed to help you, but he refuses to carry or deliver anything unless it is in the trophy case. Also, if the case is unlocked he will open it and steal its contents.
How can you get the precious figurine to John Smith?
