| Are you ready to earn V$100? Sadly, there's a better chance you'll only get V$50, and an even better chance you'll get V$0! I have come up with my own puzzles (inspiration from Professor Layton) and want you guys to solve it. Post your guesses here, and first to get each right wins V$50 for each correct answer. You can also earn V$5 if you submit your own ORIGINAL puzzle and I like it.

| PUZZLE #1: You buy a (very expensive) watch for $1 million. After shopping for Platipus Comix books all day, you only have $1 with you, so you give it to the store clerk and tell her you'll be right back. Upon arrival at your house, you find you only have the following types of dollar bills (some don't actually exist, mind you): $1s, $5s, $15s, $10s, $100s, $150s, $500s, $1000s. What is the one type of dollar bill you are guaranteed to use?
For this one you will lose V$5 for each incorrect guess, even if someone else guessed wrong. NO DOUBLE POSTING unless you're guessing for another puzzle.

| PUZZLE #2: You have just been hired by a very wealthy businessman. You are to do his dry cleaning every day at the given times in his schedule book. Upon looking through the schedule book, you find the dry cleaning times are as follows: Monday 3:26 PM; Tuesday 6:00 PM; Wednesday 1:55 PM; Thursday 2:36 PM; Friday 7:17 AM. You suddenly notice a pattern in the given times. If you follow this pattern, what should be in the blank in the following time for next week?
Monday 9:__ AM
Incorrect answers will result in a V$1 deduction each.

| Well, you need $999, and there is no way that you can pay that without a one dollar bill. | |

| Well, the second digit decreased by 2 each day and you would multiply the first number by that to get the third | |

| I don't know what you're talking about by it increasing by two, but the puzzle was that you multiply the hour by the first digit of the minute. | |

| Yes that is what I said, and the other part was mostly just figuring out the middle #, but it doesn't even follow that pattern exactly, so nevermind | |
