Peter the Piemaker is having people over and knows there will either be 7 or 8 people in attendance.

What is the fewest number of slices he needs to make sure everyone gets an equal amount of pie, regardless of whether there is 7 or 8 people there?

Imagine three sealed envelopes.

One contains a cheque for $10, one contains a cheque for $100, and one contains a cheque for $1,000.

Envelope A says: A has more money than B.  Envelope B says: B does not contain $10.  Envelope C says: C has less money than B.  The message on exactly one of the envelopes is a lie.

Where is the $1,000?
