You have a ping-pong ball in the bottom of a cup.  The cup is glued to the table.  You have three rocks, a straw, a stapler a 4x8 sheet of ¾” plywood, a stack of 100 dollar bills, six sheets of paper and a copy of yesterday’s New York Times.  How do you get the ping-pong ball out of the cup?

Put the 100 dollar bills in my pocket then take the ping pong ball out of the cup with my fingers.  :-)
