A lady arrives at a hotel where rooms are {$10} per night. When she checks in, she does not have enough money, but she offers to pay with a clasped gold braclet. The braclet has seven links, each valued at {$10.} What would be the fewest number of CUTS necessary to let her stay for one week if she wants to pay one day at a time?

Gnomon

One cut. If she cuts the third link, she now has three pieces consisting of 1 link (open), 2 links and 4 links. She can now pay for each day one day at a time by exchanging links with the hotel owner: Day 1 - pay 1 link Day 2 - take back 1 link, pay 2 links Day 3 - pay 1 link Day 4 - take back all links and pay 4 links Day 5 - pay 1 link Day 6 - take back 1 link, pay 2 links Day 7 - pay 1 link Nov 08 02, 9:50 AM

This woman is known, by her looks, for her red hair, inherited by her father. She lived around the sixteenth century. In this time she was noted as one of the best monarchs England had ever seen. Also in this time, she had a horrible sickness that caused her to wear pounds of make-up to cover unsightly facial scars. Name this woman, the sickness that she had, and a playwright that she may have met during her lifetime that wrote such literature as "Twelfth Night" and "Cymbeline". Help! I've been racking my brains all day. What is the film called, starring Pauline Collins, who has a Greek holiday and doesn't go home because she wants to stay with her Greek lover? One of her country's best-known authors (within and outside of her native land), she has been described as both a feminist and a "terrible flirt." Among the men she captivated was a lawyer and poet with a musical nickname who produced a work of verse that became even more famous than the author's books. Who was the lady writer, who was her suitor, and for what is each best known? Which later US First Lady didn't have to change her name when she marrried?
