Question

Activating a newly installed force field the aliens have avoided drown- ing. They have one set of scuba gear to make an escape and need to figure out a way to determine who gets to live and who will die a hor- rible death drowning on this inferior world full of bloody meat-sacks. The aliens have a coin that is a square measuring 3 googlymecks by 3 googlymecks (1 googlymecks = .2987 in) with an equilateral triangle, with a side measuring 1 googlymecks, that has been cut out of the coin. One edge of the triangle lies on the edge of the circle and one vertexof the trinagle lies on one vertex of the square (think of the triangle as being cut out of the corner of the coin, see picture in the other docu- ment). Sice they have no fingers, flipping the coin is not an option and they decide that the first one to balance the coin on the tip of a pencil wins. How can they accomplish this?
