    If not, you could always line them up after the second cut: ---- <}<}<}<} --- cut along this line

        1- 7, as the first cigs will make another 6 stumps to make another. 2- Four, is the only number that it's characters equals it's value. 3- 3 ,as Nish first got it. 4- As the rocks will surly come from earth, nothing will change.

        How in the world did you get that from: 2- What the number of characters the right answer of this question have [in English] ?

          With the answer I can translate the question into normal english. "How many characters does the answer of this question have?". The original appears to be the victim of poor translation by a nonnative speaker.

            Wouldn't this be 6 because he doesn't smoke and therefore doesn't have the stumps from the first six.

              reread the question. He likes to smoke cigars, what he doesn't have is money to buy them.

                  Think the cake in 3D where you cut through the X,Y and Z planes. 4 people get the bottom pieces with no sugar/chocolate cover.
