Today in class, I posted this problem on the board for the kids to try when they finished their quiz.  They asked if I would put it on the blog so they can try it.  I can not offer bonus points for this one since it is a famous logic puzzle and the answer can easily be found on the internet with a quick google search.  So give it a try and see if you are one of the 2 percenters.

***disclosure***  This is the original puzzle and it is obviously foreign and dated, I know that cigarettes are not pc and I'm certainly not promoting them.  This is a logic puzzle, so don't look for a play on words.
