Puzzle

US Version

Garlic is a wonderful seasoning when used in moderation, but the smell can be pretty potent. Someone put garlic cloves in this intricate container, and they're really stinking up the room. Use the two corks below to help our friend deal with the smell.

Touch an opening to put a cork in it. You can use no more than two corks.

US Version

Use the Memo function to trace which openings in the container lead to the garlic bulbs!

UK Version

The most logical thing to do at first is to use the Memo Function to trace which openings in the container lead to the garlic cloves.

US Version

Hmm? Something seems strange, you say?

Why, yes. The fact that all three openings in the container connect to the garlic is a bit strange...

How to contain the smell, then?

How to contain the smell then?

US Version

You don't have enough corks to stop up all three openings in the container.

Well, you'll just have to look for another set of openings to seal off from the smell with the two corks.

UK Version

Since you're only allowed to use two corks, you can't block all three openings in the container.

You'll just have to look for another set of openings that can be sealed off using only two corks.

Solution

Incorrect

Too bad!

Those corks aren't doing the trick in their current locations.

Correct

Ah, sweet relief!

Each of the three holes in the container is connected to the garlic, so there's no real way to seal off the container using two corks. With no way to contain the smell, our friend had no choice but to plug up his nostrils.

Hopefully he had the good sense to stay inside where no one could see him like that!
