Tonto's horse was called 'Scout', I think the horse was originally called something else but I can't remember it

You are in a restaurant with you when the bill (or check for our US friends) arrives at the table.

your friend issues a challenge ;if you can remove that ice cube from that glass of water without touching the ice, water, the glass or the table with your hands, I'll buy you lunch'.

You can use the following things all of which are on the table - the salt and pepper holders, a little piece of string and a penny.

What should you do?

rest one end of the string on the ice cube.... tip salt on top of the string. and then pull the ice cube out..........

Knock the glass onto the floor using your elbow.
