You are wearing a blindfold and thick gloves. An infinite number of quarters are laid out before you on a table of infinite area. Someone tells you that 20 of these quarters are tails and the rest are heads. He says that if you can split the quarters into 2 piles where the number of tails quarters is the same in both piles, then you win all of the quarters. You are allowed to move the quarters and to flip them over, but you can never tell what state a quarter is currently in (the blindfold prevents you from seeing, and the gloves prevent you from feeling which side is heads or tails). How do you partition the quarters so that you can win them all?

There can't be infinite area and quarters, therefore, this scenario can't occur.

lmao
Without loss of generality, let's say you have 7 coins, 5 of which are tails. I claim you can choose any 5 of these 7 coins, flip your chosen coins, and the number of tails in the chosen set and the remainder set will be identical.
7 coins, 5 of which are tails.
Chosen Remainder
HTTHT TT
Flipped chosen Remainder THHTH TT
thus something like this:
chosen = 20, remainder = *infinity - 20*
flip those 20, your done. the number of tails is now equal in both piles ^.^

maybe a diff one? lmao

Qwertwert125, you are truly the worst gate keeper ever. These riddles are terrible and not well thought out.
You don't even have a good opener like "Answer my riddles three..." or something.

Because any amount of punctuation won't fix the sentence.

THE FOLOWING QUESTION: why is there no correct answer to this question?
and bite me: I had had "had". Tom had had "had had". "Had had" had had the praise of the teacher.
^.^

in what direction is this bus traveling and why? *snickers*
to the right, or to the left?
p.s. kindergardners were asked this, and 9/10 got it right, can you?

Since when do teachers use Ascii art to test children? I vote BS on any claimed statistics.
Answer is: It's not moving.
