    ITT we ask easy riddles/questions that people screw up

    By "easy riddles/questions that people screw up" I mean questions that are meant to be answered immediately -- first impulse answers -- such that people will still tend to screw them up.

    I have a baseball and a bat totaling $1.10 in cost. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

    $0.05 (fixed)

    ps: Maybe I post something if I remember any riddle.

    pps: Yeah, this one is tricky for someone hasty. Due to the value, people seem to be "forced" to answer $0.10. Good one, Rubix.

      $0.05

      You have 2 coins totaling 30 cents in value. One is not a nickel. What are the two coins?

            Obligatory:
            -What do cows drink?
            -What do you put in a toaster?

            May I ask, why?

              Idk, just because it's interesting.

              A lot of people immediately think "10 cents" for the first one, just like most people will answer "milk" and "toast" instead of "water" and "bread" to yours.

                    Actually, no, I actually thought "5 cents" at first but I'm dumb.
