__________
305 pounds.
You could take 3 - 50 pounds's, 3 - 20 pounds's, 3 - 10 pounds's, 3 - 5 pounds's, and the last note would be another 50 pounds note."
6 km same as the guy
If you can add that in with the answers right off the bat, we'll avoid having to split up 1 pt for the answer and 1 pt for the explanatino afterwards. ;)Quote:

If you took 3 of every bill until you had 3 off everything, you would have 255 poundsand then if you happened to grab another 50, you would end up with 305 pounds total - this would be the largest amount possible.Quote:

Without 'cracking' herself, how is Miss Patience able to give each child a cracker and still leave one in the jar?
__________
Miss Patience simply gave nine of the children a cracker, and the tenth child received the jar with the last cracker in it.
I think you should dock a point for that little wise-crack Adept........!!! :devil:Quote:

1 pt for answer or explanation alone (from different players even), 3 pts for complete answer. ;)
That seemed to easy.............I was thinking there had to be something more tricky that I was missing.Quote:

If the Vice-President of the United States, and the Speaker of the house of representatives should die while in office, who then becomes President?

The President is still President.

Mrs. Greenwich had also forgotten her watch so she asked a gentleman passing by for the correct time. The man's watch was ten minutes slow, but he thought it was 15 minutes fast.
Taking into account the errors in the watches, who was at the bank first and at what time did they arrive?
__________
Mr. Greenwich arrived first at quarter to two.
He was told a time that was actually 15 minutes faster than the true time. Mrs. Greenwich arrived at twenty five after since she was told a time that was 25 minutes slower than the true time.
