Lennie’s List of Names
Lennie was cleaning up some old papers in his office and found a list with the following names:
Washington
Jefferson
Lincoln
Hamilton
Jackson
Grant
The last name on the list was mostly worn away and he couldn’t make it out. What was the last name and why?
Franklin. It’s a list of the men on U.S. currency, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 and $50. The $100 bill has Franklin. And an interesting tidbit is that Hamilton, along with Franklin, are the only two men in the list who did not serve as president.

Liquid Splashes But None Seeps Through
When liquid splashes me, none seeps through,
When I’m moved a lot, liquid I spew,
When I am hit, color I change,
And colors I come in, quite a range,
What I cover is quite complex,
Yet I am very easy to flex.
What am I?
Skin
A Red Drum
A red drum which sounds
Without being touched,
And grows silent,
When it is touched.
What is it?
Your heart.

I die when I’m touched.

Too Much For One
I am too much for one, enough for two, but nothing to three. What am I?
A secret.
