I had 12 bottles of whisky in my basement.

However, my wife did not approve of this ownership of liquor, so she asked me to dispose of it in the sink. And since I didn't dare oppose her, I commenced my precarious mission thus:

I pulled the cork out of the first bottle, and poured the contents down the drain, except for one glass which I drank.

Then I pulled the cork from the second bottle, poured the contents in the sink, except for one glass, which I drank.

Then I pulled the cork off the third bottle, poured one glass, except for the content, which I drank.

Then i pulled the cork out of the fourth sink, poured the bottle in the glass, which I drank.

I then pulled the cork out of the next glass, poured the cork in the bottle and pulled the glass.

After that, I pulled the cork out of the bottle, poured the sink in the bottle and put the cork in the bottle with the glass and pored the whisky on the bottle.

When all the bottles were empty, I had to support the house with one hand while I counted bottles, corks and glasses with the other hand. I got 29, precisely.

To be absolutely sure, I counted once more. This time I got 74 again.

When the house was passing by I counted everything again, and lastly all the houses, bottles and sinks, except for one cork that I poured in the house and drank...
