Brain Teasers #7
1. A young tot answered the phone and asked who was calling. “I married your mother, but I am not your father – or your stepfather!” the man replied. Who was calling?
2. Using only pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters (but at least ONE of each), make change for $1.00, using exactly fifty coins.
3. A digital clock forms palindromic numbers* 114 times a day. What is the least time between two consecutive palindromic clock numbers? What is the most?
* Numbers that read the same forward and backward, like 8:28

Question #1–the speaker is the priest or minister who performed the mother’s wedding.
Question #2–one quarter, two dimes, two nickels, and 45 pennies = $1.00 with fifty coins.
Question #3–I might get to that one later when I have more time.
Larry, thanks for the fun that comes with your brain teasers.
