I have in my hand a number of current US coins. I cannot make change for $1.00, but I have more than $1.00 worth of change. In fact, I have the largest amount of money for which this is possible. For a chance at the pizza, how many coins do I have?
For an extra challenge, how much money do I have?
Please e-mail Lester Dickey with your answer and your name, phone number, and the organization for which you work. Or call Barbara Buck at 624-9501. The winner will be drawn from all the correct entries and will receive a FREE donated pizza, either from CJ’s Pizza or from the EDOC Cafeteria. All answers must be in no later than July 30.
