Edit: "Ton" is heavy, but "Not" is not heavy.

@bannana Yeah it's like the 3rd time I've done somethin like that in this one thread T.T
It still doesn't really affect the answer though.
I'll decide the coin out then.
[quote=AlterSniper]i already said the answer o-o you push the cork all the way in and dump the coin out[/quote]
Again.. please read number 4 completely T.T
Still waiting on a correct answer

[quote=AlterSniper]you typed #3 wrong. its supposed to go "you have 2 coins that equal 30 cents. one of them is not a NICKEL. what are the two coins?"

if you have a coin and a bottle and you put the coin in the bottle and then the cork, all you have to do is take the cork out and dump the coin out... its not a riddle at all.[/quote]
Whoops, you were right about #3 however on #4 please read the entire thing, specifically the part that says "without breaking the bottle or taking off the cork"
