EXTRA CREDIT PUZZLER:
Description below. The usual submission rules apply: first person to email me the correct answer gets
the points! (Note: the last clue, that the lender is a friend, means that she is willing to do a little extra
such as exchanging one segment of the necklace for another. For example, if she has five segments of
one link each, and the borrower gives her a segment of six links (connected), then the lender would give
back the five one-link segments in exchange.)
