Riddle

If you have two coins which total 35 cents and one of the coins is not a dime, what are the two coins?

Choose an answer

A.A quarter and a nickel
B.Two dimes and a nickel
C.Three dimes
D.A quarter and a dime. One coin is not a dime, but the other one is.
Hint: It's a 16-word phrase with 49 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

A quarter and a dime. One coin is not a dime, but the other one is.

Why this is the answer

The wording only rules out one of the coins being a dime; the other coin can still be a dime, so a quarter and a dime work.
