I hear a lot
And I say a lot
Few ever look for me
And even fewer ever hear me I hide in plain sight
Whether its day or night
To help is all I want
But most like to bend me
And as if they had a wand
Never again shall anyone find me
They do this to control
Without realizing the high price of a soul
But when I’m least expected
They’d rather be protected
For there shall be no place to hide
What am I?
Politicians
There is a party of 100 high-powered politicians. All of them are either honest or liars.
You walk in knowing two things:
- At least one of them is honest.
- If you take any two politicians, at least one of them is a liar.
From this information, can you know how many are liars and how many are honest?

Loose Ends
You have a bag with 'N' strings in it. You randomly grab two ends and tie them together until there are no more loose ends. In the end, what is the expected number of loops (strings tied to their own end)?
