Remove the Coin
Chris and Knightmare are enjoying a bottle of red wine from the StanLake Park Wine Estate. As the last glass is poured, Knightmare stands from the COUCH, reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a small coin. He drops the coin into the bottle and re-installs the cork.
Knightmare says, "Chris, I bet you another bottle of wine, that I can remove the coin from the bottle without removing the cork."
Chris exclaims, "Certainly, you can ... simply break the bottle."
"I can do it without breaking the bottle," Knightmare boasts.
"You've got a bet."
Could Knightmare actually remove the coin without compromising the structural integrity of the bottle? If so, how?

Does pushing the cork into the bottle count?
Does burning the cork count ?

Hi Cam ... yeah, Knightmare pushes the cork into the bottle
Alternatively, he could have used a Klein bottle
I'm curious....where is Stanlake Park Wine Estate?

Is this the same couch that was stolen?
hi Curtis ...
the wine estate is in England ... google them
this is Knightmare's infamous couch which he claims does speeds in excess of 100mph ... you'll have to ask him
Hi Zaux
I thought it might be, it's about 1 mile from my business!! Small world.
Regards, Curtis
Hi Zaux
don't you mean 88 mph
a couch reaching speeds in excess of 100 mph is just ridiculous
oh...and it floats
The answer I see is to place the bottle in boiling water until the cork pops of its own accord, that way Knightmare never touches the cork and the bottle stays intact.
It's only a thought.
