    Default Lets see who gets this right first

    You have a dime and a dollar,
    you buy a dog and a collar,
    the dog costs one dollar more than the collar,
    how much did you pay for the collar?







    First One to get this right is THE MAN!!!

    As I see it, there are a few possible answers. The collar could be 1,2,3,4 or 5 cents. I suppose it could also be free. If the idea is that you spend the entire dime and dollar and have no change, then the answer would be 5 cents, with the dog being $1.05.

    You guys are obviously sharp. I have asked 100s of people
    this question and I would say only about 5% get it right.

    5 cents is the right answer. Everyone says 10 cents.

    And I guarantee you most people that saw this
    would of said 10 cents as well.

    I have to say this was is incredibly hard to get right if you are not familiar with the word dime. But it was nice to learn something new again.

    Deputy? Consider this a coup d'état. You're history, Ganch.
