It has been a week so I will give the answer:

If you take 4 pennies, 4 dimes, one quarter, and one half dollar that would equal $1.19.

New riddle:

A B C
D E F
G H I

Replace each letter with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 so that the sum of each column, each row, and both diagonals is equal to 15. Each number can only be used once and all of the numbers must be used.

There are dollar coins in circulation. If you used two half dollar coins then they could be replaced by a dollar coin but the problems state that you can only use pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars.

There is a specific amount that is in whole coins. The coins are quantized, they can not be broken into smaller parts.

To clarify, if you used 4 pennies, 1 nickel, 1 dime, 1 quarter, 1 half dollar, then the sum of the values of the coins would be $.96. There is a way to make a larger sum, that is what you need to find to answer this riddle.

You are Anna.

Usung only pennies($.01), nickels($.05), dimes($.10), quarters($.25), and half dollars($.50) what is the largest amount of money you can have where you can’t use a combination of smaller coins to equal a larger coin? Here are examples of combinations that you couldn’t use; You couldn’t use five or more pennies because five pennies has an equal value to a nickel, you couldn’t use ten pennies with one dime and one nickel because that would equal one quarter, or you can’t use two half dollars because it would be equal to one dollar.

Here is a clue; the correct answer is not $.94.

Downfall



Death is a primitive concept. I prefer to think of them as battling evil in another dimension.

Oh Great! Just jump all over me, why don’t you? Just jump all over me! What about the 9 kids I didn’t lose this week?

Milik, is that a movie quote or is it part of Pretty Woman?

Breaking Bad.

(I was actually thinking of Airplane! For my movie quote of “There is a sale at Penny’s!)

Next quote:

“Fish for dinner last night?”

“Is Harold still smoking cigars?”

“Christ! Did a cow shit in here?!”

The Bear was white, it was a polar bear. The only place that a building can have four walls facing south is at the North Pole. Hence, it was a polar bear.

What name is both a pun and the palindrome of Bright Fame?

He who builds me doesn’t use me.
He who buys me has no personal use for me.
He who uses me has no knowledge that he uses me.
What am I?

There’s a sale at Penny’s!!!!

Over twenty years ago I found a spell-book of a white witch. I looked through the spells listed and there were many interesting spells in the book. There were spells to find love and to keep people from harming themselves and many others. (There was a spell to find love but every time I tried to cast the spell I  got interference from a specific person that ruined the spell. You might...

A couple of years ago I noticed that I was having some troubles walking. It wasn't anything really serious, just that my legs felt a little weak, stiff and I had no stamina. I started having some back problems, nothing really bad, just every now and then the base of my back would feel stiff. Then this late spring when I was seeing my doctor for my yearly check-up I told him how I was...
