Ten White Man On A Dirt Road

Ten white men standing on a dirt road.
Killed by three eyes as black as night.

What happened?

Someone bowled a strike. The ten white men are the pins, the dirt road is the bowling alley (it’s not dirt, but it’s the color of dirt, and if it said a smooth wooden alley it wouldn’t be much of a riddle). Three eyes as black as night are the finger holes in the bowling ball.

Two Three Ten Sequence

If:
2 3 = 10
7 2 = 63
6 5 = 66
8 4 = 96
9 7 = __

What is the missing number?

f(n, m) = (n + m) × n

e.g. f(2, 3) = (2 + 3) × 2 = 10

Hence, f(9, 7) = (9 + 7) × 9 = 144

What’s So Funny Ethel?

Merle was checking out at the grocery store. Ethel, a friendly cashier, said the total was $63.59. He gave her a $100 bill and she began laughing as she counted out his change. Then she gave him a high five and Merle left the store chuckling.

What was so funny?

The amount of change was $36.41, which meant Ethel handed Merle one of everything in her drawer:

$20 bill
$10 bill
$5 bill
$1 bill
A quarter
A dime
A nickel
A cent
———
$36.41

Good ol’ Ethel.
