Short supply of gloves

[Jet Li]

An army surgeon needs to operate on 3 different soldiers who got hit during reconnaissance. The problem is that the supply truck hasn't restocked the field hospital and surgical gloves are just about gone.

She cannot come in contact with the blood of any soldier, and there is to be no blood contact between soldiers.

How can the surgeon operate on three different people when she has only 2 pairs of gloves.

Anyone, anyone,


Beuler?

put both pair on, operate on soldier #1

Rinse the gloves off, turn 'em inside out and put 'em back on, operate on soldier #2

Take pair one off, operate on soldier #3

Probably wrong, but it's the best I can come up with given that amount of time I'm willing to spend thinking about it

Dude, it's only Wednesday! I can't handle a brain teaser right now...

My only thought - hope she's good at one-handed surgical procedures

Wear the first pair to operate on soldier #1, then pull that pair off...turning them inside out~ Use the second pair on soldier #2 , and then place the first pair, turned inside out, over the second pair and get to work on soldier #3~ The blood from the first two is now between the two pairs... no blood on the doc.. no mixing of blood on the soldiers~

or... call in the Marines!

I had the right idea, but I think GJoker nailed it....

GJoker, now you must buy a larger size helmet to accomodate your large brain

That works

Jet Lee, don't bother typing it, I have a small helmet too.

We should start a club, together we could be the leader!

I must have been tapping into your brain waves... we prolly wrote it up about the same time, I'm just slow at typing... then proof reading... then typing.. then proofing again... and half the time I still end up posting with mistakes.. or leaving a word out here and ~
