Happy belated Birthday mate!!! Couldn't think of a better place to celebrate. You are both leg-ends!!!!!! Tom mentioned brain teasers and I heard this one on an episode of Columbo (probably the best show of all time). See if you get it - its called a minimal information problem: There are several sacks of gold coins (as many as you like). However, one of these sacks contains fake gold coins and subsequently weighs slightly more than the others (lets say a pound more in weight). You have one token which you can use by putting it in the weighing machine. It produces one weight reading. Once you have used the token you cannot use it again. Using this one token, which is the sack full of fake coins?

PS-This is a message from Gloria..Congrats on your journey and greetings from (surprisingly sunny) London! :-) Good luck!!

Hello chaps, glad to hear you are moving westward again - one step closer to the finish line and being back to Sezzy Sue! Albeit belated, Happy Birthday to you both - I have just bought you guys a virtual pint each and there's a promise of a real one at the end if you row a bit faster! Jen x

Great to hear you're back on it boys! I'm just about to head off to catch my flight to the Comores Islands. I'll report back and tell you all about the great things you can expect from that part of the world when you reach land! Keep up the awesome work and here's hoping for good weather and more surfing for you. Ed
