Clue to Riddle #69: Combing the Dregs of Glasses to Make a New One
69. At a whisky tasting Mr Cheap works out that for every 10 used, empty, glasses he can collect, he can poor the dregs together to make a whole new glass of whisky. At the end of the day he is able to find 100 empty glasses. How many full glasses can he now drink?
Just a quickie. There's an obvious trap to fall in to here. The answer is not 10. You can immediately make 10 full glasses, but that is not the end of it.
Where next?
