   This put me in the mind of  a  beautiful  riddle  by  Martin   
   Gardner, in which a doctor must operate three patients using   
   only two pair of gloves.  Any of  the  four  people  may  be   
   infected with a virus that transfers at direct contact.  The   
   operation must be performed with both  hands,  and  all  the   
   uninfected must remain so.
