How To Open Da Pirates?

As I was pondering Pirates of the Carribean riddle?

  • As I was pondering Pirates of the Carribean, I thought of some approaches that were probably off topic but nonetheless interesting. Suppose you have four pirates and want to make a treasure chest that will open when any three decide to open it. You only have four locks, and one key for each lock. How would you do it?

  • Answer:

    The lid of the (rectangular shaped) chest has no hinges, but has a lock along each of the four sides. When any three are opened, the fourth lock (still locked) acts as a hinge for the fourth side of the lid.

In true pirate fashion, I'd kill of the other three and take their keys to gain me booty.

That hit me for six.I guess you will tell us in the end if no correct answer. You did not say that you will lock it only that it has 4 locks and a key for each lock. I guess I would leave it open.
