Last Month’s Riddle: Clothing Code
A new clothing store just opened. The owner has devised his own method of pricing items. A vest costs $20, socks cost $25, a tie costs $15, and a blouse costs $30. Using the owner’s method, how much would a pair of pajamas cost?

Solution: The pricing method consists of charging $5 for each letter required to spell the item. So, a pair of pajamas would cost $35.

Last month’s Junior Riddle: The Invisible Apple
There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it – without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

Solution: Place the apple on one person’s head.
