So have at it. List all the ways that you can think of that you can still use a penny.
If I lose the bet I owe him a dinner and if I win I get a dinner so I'm counting on all of you  |

in college we could lean against a dead bolted door, then put pennies between "molding" and "door". If you could wedge enough pennies in, the friction/ stress on the deadbolt would prevent door from unlocking- so you could effectively penny/lock someone IN their room. Leave it to engineers to find ways around the system.
