A man walks into the bank and passes the bank teller 1000 one dollar notes and asks her to distribute them into 10 bags so that any amount he needs from $1 to $1000 can be achieved in a combination of bags without having to reopen the bags. How can this be done?!
First one to tell me the correct answer gets a free ice cream treat

Ice cream uncle say he left 2 flavours only, GRAPE and DURIAN. Which flavour do you prefer? :)
Waaa... i am among geniuses!
You guys are sooo smart. :)
I am impressed! ;)
Ser Lin hates durian. I think you better go buy mango for him. You see, the joy is to share... so...remb to buy more..
if i buy more you all won't get to experience the joy of sharing right? i'll just get ONE ice cream for Ser Lin and all of you can "joy" with him. As for me, i'll pass. Ice creams make me fat
Ya...
SerLin is the smart one but we can share the joy and ice-cream with him la...
