A hundred prisoners are each locked in a room with three pirates, one of whom will walk the plank in the morning. Each prisoner has 10 bottles of wine, one of which has been poisoned; and each pirate has 12 coins, one of which is counterfeit and weighs either more or less than a genuine coin. In the room is a single switch, which the prisoner may either leave as it is, or flip. Before being led into the rooms, the prisoners are all made to wear either a red hat or a blue hat; they can see all the other prisoners' hats, but not their own. Meanwhile, a six-digit prime number of monkeys multiply until their digits reverse, then all have to get across a river using a canoe that can hold at most two monkeys at a time. But half the monkeys always lie and the other half always tell the truth. Given that the Nth prisoner knows that one of the monkeys doesn't know that a pirate doesn't know the product of two numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing that the N+1th prisoner has flipped the switch in his room or not after having determined which bottle of wine was poisoned and what colour his hat is, what is the solution to this puzzle?

I don't think anybody is really worried about the matching algorithm, they're more worried about the fact that there is an item called "man piece" in the grocery section.

Actually, I'd be surprised if they actually had an item called "man piece". I've plunked words into google and it comes back "did you mean 'xx yy zzz'?" and if i clicked on that, it would say "NO RESULTS U SUCK!" or something like that.

It may have just taken moon -> man and pies -> piece and jammed em together.

.... moon pies!

Counteracts the poison, acts as floatation device , increases capacity of the canoes, who cares about hatys if you have moon pies, and they... and kill the monkeys.

There's a 50% certainty that 90% of the monkeys [WTF posters] will understand at most 0.125% of the riddle as written, (and consequently, only (1/inf)% will understand it as intended). Thus, the obvious answer is to force the monkeys to drink the wine, then dress up the remaining monkeys in the pirates' garb while the pirates steal the canoe and escape. Since that is the obvious answer, one must conclude that it is wrong. Therefore, since a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second to maintain its air-speed velocity, the correct answer is "What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?".

Ah, but if the number of monkeys is prime and six digits, it can't be even. Therefore, in order to answer your question, I must first know whether the truth-telling half of the monkeys is rounded up or down.
