A Riddle

If you have two coins in your pocket that add up to 15p and one is not a 10p piece, what are the two coins?

 

[Hacienda71]

10p and 5p

 

[Fnaar]

Can I use paypal?

 

[HovR]

One isn't a 10p, the other one is.

Impossible. It can't be done.

 

[Speicher]

"One is not a ten pence piece"? so the other one can be.

So a 10p piece and a 5p piece.

 

[Dayvo]

Impossible. It can't be done.

8p and 7p! Easy peasy!

 

[Maz]

8p and 7p! Easy peasy!

I did some quick calcs...

...and I think you're right!
So, well done, Dayvo.

 

[Smokin Joe]

"One is not a ten pence piece"? so the other one can be.

So a 10p piece and a 5p piece.

Well done.

To be fair, I think Hacienda got it right in 1644. Or should that read 16.44pm

 

[Keith Oates]

Try 16.44 hours, although at 16:44 is OK as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope we don't fall out over this, no need for civil war on such a trivial matter.

Yeh - I agree, otherwise it it could be the war of the 'Spanish' pence insular...
