The 5 stick problem

0002S · 01-23-2010, 08:56 PM

PROBLEM:

You will be out of town for 5 days and want to carry and smoke 1 cigar a day. You will be able to set aside .45 - 1.5 hrs to enjoy the cigar. You can bring 5 of the same, 5 different, or any combination in between. You will be smoking outside in good warm weather.

BUT:

1. You cannot guarantee your meal before. (ex. It could be McDonald or a great Steak)

2. You cannot guarantee your drink with the cigar.

QUESTION:

What 5 cigars do you bring with you? What is the reasoning of the 5 choices given the parameters of the problem?
