neither did i, but thanks 2 mathwiz, i got it right

It wanted the lowest number possible that is divisible by 7 and leaves a remainder of 1 if divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Basically, it had to end in 1 or 6 to leave a remainder of 1 for 5, but then u know it has to end in 1 so dividing by 2 would get a remainder of 1.  Other than that...it's kind of trial and error...it's easy to figure out if 4 will leave a remainder of 1...with 3 you can add up all the digits of the number, and if you get a number 1 greater than a multiple of 3, then it works for 3...6 ain't so hard either.

Oh...I almost forgot...

A mother has two sons.  They both ask her for money so they can buy some candy.  One son finished his chores on time, so the mother gives him 15 cents.  To the other son, who finished his chores only after the mother scolded him, the mother gives 10 cents.

What time is it?

one apple + two bananas - 25 cents   = 4 'o' clock
                            2

Dodger, wtf are you talking about? Where did the apple and banana come from?

[ultswordsman]

think about it

Lol not what I meant...what time is it at the time of the situation I described?

[Bakster]

How are we supposed to know? You never specified, and there is no way of finding out.

u guys are retarded, i posted this riddle earlier, even know it was near the begining of the thread.  its 1:45

the mother gave the boys a total of 25 cents: a quarter, and she split in between 2 boys. so its a quarter to 2 AKA 1:45

wtf..

I still don't understand dodger's explanation at all, and I highly (very highly) doubt that ults does either.

I understand hafer's, but I disagree with it. What if it was 25 pennies or 2 dime and a nickle or some other variant of coins?

[haferhole1]

it still adds up to 25 cents, which is a quarter. dodger might not get it because im not sure if in the uk the called quarters or not, but  that is the answer, when i posted the riddle earlier, i had gotten it off a site, after seeing the same riddle posted on 2 pther sites

[MathWiz20]

The answer that I've always known is "25 to 2" meaning 1:35, NOT 1:45.

But maybe there are two ways of interpreting the riddle.  Sorry if you've posted this already...this is my first time in the unrelated part of the forum
