How come French riddlers never hurt  wrists or elbows while turning the 30.000 wine bottles?

They are too drunk to feel the pain! :)

They use it as a compass to always know where they are going. Which is why they are good at racing. They can always find their way home.

Yes,  My husband.  A good elbow to the rib cage usually causes him to roll over and gives me some temporary relief.

Let w be the fraction of licquid in the wine glass consisting of water; initially w=0. The fraction of water in the water glass is 1-w (because the total amount of water in both glasses never changes from 100). \n\nLet s be the volume of a spoonful. As the result of a transfer from the water glass to the wine glass:\n\nw --> w' = (100w + s(1-w))/(100+s)\n\nDefining x = w - 1/2, this equation becomes:\n\nw' = x'+1/2 = (100(x+1/2) + s(1/2-x))/(100+s)\n==>\nx' = [(100-s)/(100+s)]x = ax\n==>\nx' = ax where a = (100-s)/(100+s)\n\nThe initial value of x (i.e. w-1/2) is -1/2, so after r operations x = -(1/2)a^r and so:\n\nw = 1/2(1-a^r)\n\n********\n\nFor example if s = 8cc (about 1 tablespoon), a = .85 and after three operations:\n\nw = (1/2)(1-(.85)^3) = .19  (19% or 19 cc water)\n\n********\n\nThe answer is not exactly proportional to the size of a spoonful, but the rationale for the previous answers is probably that if s << 100, then a ~ (1 - 2s/100)\n==>\na^3 ~ (1-s/50)^3 ~ 1-3s/50\n==>\nw ~ 3s/100 (about three spoonfuls).

water, and most liquids including wine, are often called "incompressible fluids".  this means that you can increase the pressure underwater by a large amount, and the volume won't change (much - it does, but only very very slightly).  compare this to air or gas, which you can easily compress into a smaller volume by increasing the pressure.\n\nnow, what causes cans to crush and bottles to break is a pressure DIFFERENCE.  this means that there is a greater pressure (and hence, greater force) inside the bottle (explosion) or outside the bottle (implosion).  \n\nwhen a bottle of wine is underwater, the pressure from the seawater pushes inwards on the glass bottle, which in turn pushes inwards on the wine.  since the wine is mostly incompressible too, that means it will push back on the bottle, and the pressure will equalize.  it's basically the equivalent of taking an open bottle underwater, and then putting the cap on.  what you have then is just like your wine bottle.\n\n(also, wine bottles are pretty thick, and glass is stronger than you think, especially in that shape and when subject to compressive forces that are evenly distributed.  this explains why they don't burst around that little bit of air in the bottle.)

spin the bottle!!!! LOL

Foot pushes down lever which lifts a rod which pushes up lid at hindge side.\n\nThe mechanical advantage of the foot strength v weight of lid makes this effortless

At least, according to Vincent.  Personally, I've never been to France and I can't find any clarification for it, but it makes sense.\n\nI'm not sure if you were actually looking for an answer to this question, but in case you were, it's from Pulp Fiction.

Solution: According to Sunkist's law of conversion - as you reached terminal velocity and the time portal appeared - Chiquita's banana-form entropy would come into play around France. \n\nAnswer: 2

1 and 2 is with the help of luck and $$$.\n3 is coz they hav way too much time in their hands and dont have a real life in the outside world.\n4.Maybe coz he invented a luv potion or somethin to lure "that French fan" or maybe she was impressed by his "knowledge" about autoclaves!\n\nHope New Year has something NEW!

push the cork totally into the bottle and get the coin out.\n\nVote me the best answer! Yeah!

cause they make good wine lol

Because of inertia, an object at rest will remain that way unless acted on by an outside force.  When you flicked the coin, only the coin that was hit was moved.  The others will fall in place.  Same trick as when a waiter yanks a tablecloth quickly, but the dishes stay in place on the table.

it could be that your body and muscle can work better with you hand eye coordination when parts of your brain aren't in full control.  example many marksman allow the body to aim the shot not the mind i hope this makes sense or it could be that I'm a little drunk.  drunks make wonderful philosophers

Never heard of it, but used many others.\n\nMy friend, do not trust tipsters. Think!  If they could find winners so easily, why are they not on the French Riviera with a blond on each arm?

funnily enough, white wine gets red wine out. weird, eh?
