Riddle me this!

What flies when it's born,

lies when it alive,

and runs when it's dead?

If you were blindfolded and placed in front of a large bowl containing $50, $20, $10 and $5 bills, and you were allowed to take one bill at a time until you have taken four bills of the same denomination, what would be the largest amount of money you could draw?

$305. You could take 3 - $50's, 3 - $20's, 3 - $10's, 3 - $5's, and the last bill would be another $50 bill.

There were a couple of good ALTERNATE answers to this one too!

Pull up a chair at The Four Kachinas Inn in Santa Fe, New Mexico

'Morning, Kitty!

 

[dianeschlicht]

Morning Bernie and friends! Not seeing it yet this morning!

Congrats to Erin!!

Wish I could stay at the Kachina Inn!

My alternate answer for the daily double yesterday was, "you can't "draw" money , because it would be counterfeit".

 

[yepod]

I think the web cam could be a big mistake

It could be what the Days Inn uses to prosecute

Or at least keep out the DISers from then on! LOL

Hiya John!

Erin is looking for a nice uptempo classic rock song. One that moves along nicely and has a fun message! Any ideas??

Bernie, it sounds like so much of Riddle Con is happening Friday.....are we still going to do a group meal on Saturday???

 

[oldkicker]

Hey Laurie!

That's a good point, John! I think the folks at the Days Inn are gonna be wondering what hit 'em!

 

[Lars624]
