Today's Question - A kid's trick for Halloween – Mike gave Bob a nickel and a dime. He said - "Put one in each hand but don't tell me. Now....triple the value of the coin in your right hand and double the value in your left. Add those two values together and tell me if the total is "odd" or "even" and I'll tell you which coin is in which hand." What would be the placement for "even?"

Reveal Answer Answer - Guess which hand! - If the total is "even", the nickel must be in the hand that is doubled.....in this case the "left hand." If the nickel were tripled (15 cents), the answer will always be odd.
