nice .
most of these riddles have been going for a while, heres one you wont find on the net.

*************************
5 + 5 + 5 = 550

by adding only one line to this equation how can you make it valide. ex: / \ - |
**************************
the answer is not by drawing a line on the equal sign and saying that 5 + 5 + 5 is noequal to 550. <--smart but not the answer

i think i figured out the coin thing.

take one coin out of the first bag, two coins out of the second , three from the third and so on and 10 from the tenth.

when you weight all the coins you removed, if your off by 3 grams then you know it was the third bag, if you off by 7 grams then it was the seventh bag.


i hope thats the answer makes sense in my head and it was prettty cool

545 + 5 = 550
ie;" /+ " considered as 4
Hope this is the solution..

The "/" (or a slanting line) is used to connect the top and left corners of the "+" sign so as to make it 4.

Hope you got it...
