A QUEER THING IN MONEY.
(
Money Puzzles)
It will be found that L66, 6s. 6d. equals 15,918 pence. Now, the four
6's added together make 24, and the figures in 15,918 also add to 24. It
is a curious fact that there is only one other sum of money, in pounds,
shillings, and pence (all similarly repetitions of one figure), of which
the digits shall add up the same as the digits of the amount in pence.
What is the other sum of money?
Answer:
The answer is as follows: L44,444, 4s. 4d. = 28, and, reduced to pence,
10,666,612=28.
It is a curious little coincidence that in the answer 10,666,612 the
four central figures indicate the only other answer, L66, 6s. 6d.
