A Problem of Ribbon



  We have a 100 m piece of ribbon.

 If it takes one second to cut it into a 1 m strip how long would it take to cut the entire ribbon into metre strips?

Answer:      One minute and thirty nineseconds, because when the ninetyninth cut is made, the remaining metre does not have to be cut.
