A boy claims he can rush over to a lightswitch in his bedroom, flick the light off, and run back to his bed, and be in bed, asleep, even before the room actually gets dark. The bed and light are 50 feet apart. How can the boy accomplish this? Sunlight.

[Do it during the day.]

I have two US coins that equal a total of $.55 (cents). One of the coins is not a nickel. What are the two coins? (This one has stumped MANY people...i dont know why ><) One is a half-dollar. The other is a nickel.

[one nickel, one half dollar because one of them is indeed not a nickel]
