Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Here's a good one:
Nancy is a very attractive clerk in a candy store. She is 19 years old, is a Freshman at an Ivy League University, wears fashionable clothes, and is a highly competent mathematician. She has done a least squares analysis on her weight during the last two years and has found that the best fitting polynomial is a cubic equation. What does she weigh?

Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as heck...

Here's a slightly easier version of the ball and scale puzzle that was posted earlier. You have 2187 balls (yes, that's two thousand one hundred eighty-seven) that are identical in every respect except for the fact that one of them is slightly heavier than all the rest. You have to find the heavy ball. The only device you have at your disposal in order to accomplish this is a balance that can only tell you whether the total weight of the objects you place on one side is greater than, equal to, or less than the total weight of the objects you place on the other side. You must complete the task in seven measurements.
(Note: assume the balance is large enough to hold as many balls as you want.)
