Crozius Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 How many cents are here? It is a lateral thinking puzzle...so think outside the square. Give me your working too. Six cents 35c Four Dollars 12 Cents $0.68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre4edgc Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 two quarters, four dimes, one nickels, five pennies, and three dollar bills. That's if I understand your question correctly. If not, then I seriously have no idea. I figured this by taking one of the four dollars, and splitting it into loose change. I made sure I can make all of the other amounts with it as well. nickel + penny = 6 cents three dimes + nickel = 35 cents EVERYTHING = 4 dollars two dimes + two pennies = 12 cents two quarters + one dime + one nickel + three pennies = 68 cents That is my workings of it. Once again, not sure if I understood it the way you meant it. If not, then I guess I'll say 1, since only one word there (cents, c, dollars, Cents, and $) matches the original (cents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 18 Cents if we rely upon Text base only. or Two if we ignore the Math and adhere strictly to texts. or is it 4 if we count the Title and Question description? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 well... aside from what everyone else said, Six cents 35c Four Dollars 12 Cents $0.68 if we add those up we get: 521 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crozius Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 1, 18, 521, 4, 2 are all incorrect. 68cents i am unsure of, i got this from one of those late night game shows. Been really annoying me of what the answer is so why not use some of the brilliant minds here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 ok lets try a long shot, Canada, America, the Euro, Australia all have cents so that`s 4 how many other countries use it? maybe that`s the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genecks Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 86 cents Six cents 35c Four Dollars 12 Cents $0.68 cents can be seen as a variable. six cents + 12 cents = 18 cents since 0.68 is represented as cents, then 18+0.68 = $0.86 However, it could be simply 18 cents if you want to be strict about it. The more strict answer is "six cents" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravi Ramdial Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 12 cents plus 6 cents is 18 cents...there i figured it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMongoose Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I have no idea how Americas currency works, but by the sounds of it a cent is the smallest (value) coin followed by 5 cents. If you go to a shop they give you change in the smallest number of coins possible, and doing so with each of those amounts gives 6 cents. i.e. 6 cents is a nickel and a cent, so thats 1 cent 12 cents is a dime and 2 cents $0.68 is 2 quarters a dime a nickel and 3 cents and the rest have no cents involved. Thats just one interpretation. i.e. my guess, not my solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvp45 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 It's either 2 or 53. If it's 2, Noam Chomsky will haunt you; if it's 53, Alexander Hamilton will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
