How Much Does A Plum Cost?

Yesterday’s Problem:

Peggy likes oranges but not purple.
She likes torches but not chandeliers.
She eats berries but not fruit.

Using the same rule, does she like Byron
or Keats?

Answer:

The answer is “Byron.” She likes words
where the first two letters also make a
word. The word orange starts with “or”
which is a word. The word torches starts
with “to” which is a word. The word berries
starts with “be” which is a word.

Byron starts with “by” which of course
is also a word. “By” the way, are you
having fun?

Today’s Problem:

A grocery store sells products that are
priced in a certain way:

 

A daffodil costs 10 cents.
A carrot costs 8 cents.
A peach costs 5 cents.
A zucchini costs 9 cents.
An orange costs 6 cents.

How much does a plum cost?

Byron or Keats?

Last Problem:

Which is heavier? A pound of gold or a
pound of feathers?

Answer:
A pound of feathers weighs more. They
weigh 16 ounces. Metal is weighed in
troy ounces. There are only 12 ounces to
a troy pound.
