Let me have one, and I'll try to solve it.
Here's a couple:
There is a hotel called the Infinite Hotel. It has an infinite number of floors (we're talking the lower versions of infinity; only countable, whole, positive numbers). If all of the rooms are full in the infinite hotel, and one person comes in and says that he wants a room; what should the front desk person do?
Hint: you want to get the guest into a room without killing anyone or having them share rooms. The answer seems pretty obvious to me.
[b]SOLVED: by kyuss534[/b]
[spoiler]You move every patron of the hotel over one room. Put the new patron in the first room.
Official answer: You tell the person in room #1 to move to room #2, and tell the person in moving from room #1 to tell the person in room #2 to move to room #3, and so on.
Here's the formula [i]n+1[/i][/spoiler]
There is the same Infinite Hotel as above, but this is the manager's worst nightmare. An infinite number of buses with an infinite number of people comes to the fully-booked hotel, all of them wanting a room. What does the manager do to fit all of them in?
You must assign them a room. You don't have to get them in all at once.

Costello: Funny names? Abbott: Nicknames, nicknames. Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third-- Costello: That's what I want to find out. I want you to tell me the names of the fellows on the St. Louis team. Abbott: I'm telling you. Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third-- Costello: You know the fellows' names? Abbott: Yes. Costello: Well, then who's playing first? Abbott: Yes. Costello: I mean the fellow's name on first base. Abbott: Who. Costello: The fellow playin' first base. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy on first base. Abbott: Who is on first. Costello: Well, what are you askin' me for? Abbott: I'm not asking you--I'm telling you. Who is on first. Costello: I'm asking you--who's on first? Abbott: That's the man's name. Costello: That's who's name? Abbott: Yes. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Costello: When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money? Abbott: Every dollar of it. And why not, the man's entitled to it. Costello: Who is? Abbott: Yes. Costello: So who gets it? Abbott: Why shouldn't he? Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it. Costello: Who's wife? Abbott: Yes. After all, the man earns it. Costello: Who does? Abbott: Absolutely. Costello: Well, all I'm trying to find out is what's the guy's name on first base? Abbott: Oh, no, no. What is on second base. Costello: I'm not asking you who's on second. Abbott: Who's on first! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Costello: St. Louis has a good outfield? Abbott: Oh, absolutely. Costello: The left fielder's name? Abbott: Why. Costello: I don't know, I just thought I'd ask. Abbott: Well, I just thought I'd tell you. Costello: Then tell me who's playing left field? Abbott: Who's playing first. Costello: Stay out of the infield! The left fielder's name? Abbott: Why. Costello: Because. Abbott: Oh, he's center field. Costello: Wait a minute. You got a pitcher on this team? Abbott: Wouldn't this be a fine team w i t h o u t a pitcher? Costello: Tell me the pitcher's name. Abbott: Tomorrow. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Costello: Now, when the guy at bat bunts the ball--me being a good catcher--I want to throw the guy out at first base, so I pick up the ball and throw it to who? Abbott: Now, that's he first thing you've said right. Costello: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Abbott: Don't get excited. Take it easy. Costello: I throw the ball to first base, whoever it is grabs the ball, so the guy runs to second. Who picks up the ball and throws it to what. What throws it to I don't know. I don't know throws it back to tomorrow--a triple play. Abbott: Yeah, it could be. Costello: Another guy gets up and it's a long ball to center. Abbott: Because. Costello: Why? I don't know. And I don't care. Abbott: What was that? Costello: I said, I DON'T CARE! Abbott: Oh, that's our shortstop![/url]
