Riddle
You have two coins, and their total value is 11¢. One of the coins is not a penny. What are the two coins?
Choose an answer
A.Two nickels and a penny
B.A dime and a nickel
C.Eleven pennies
D.The two coins are a dime and a penny. I said "ONE of the coins is not a penny"; if one of the coins is not a penny, then the other coin IS a penny. The coin that is not a penny has to be a dime because the total value should be 11¢.
Hint: It's a 53-word phrase with 169 letters, starting with "T".
Answer
The two coins are a dime and a penny. I said "ONE of the coins is not a penny"; if one of the coins is not a penny, then the other coin IS a penny. The coin that is not a penny has to be a dime because the total value should be 11¢.
Why this is the answer
Only one coin is excluded from being a penny, leaving the other coin free to be a penny, and 10¢+1¢ equals 11¢.
