The answer to my previous riddle is there are 6 ways to divide the grid evenly.
Ten coins add up to fifty cents. What are they?

Yay again!
I just need to say that I was wrong before.
Zero to the zeroth power does not equal 1. Other whole numbers do.
However, my knowledge of English language is not nearly good enough for me to explain why. I have never studied maths in English.
I'll try nonetheless.
x^n /x^m = x^n-m
When n=m, then x^n/x^m = x^n/x^n When you divide a number by itself, you get 1. And x^n/x^n = x^n-n = x^0
However, when x=0, then x^n/x^n = 0^n/0^n No matter how many times you multiply zero with anything else, even itself, it remains zero. So, then it equals 0/0. And you can't divide with zero.
All this probably has nothing to do with the riddle, though.
(I wasn't able to use superscript here, so it's not as clear as it should be. Can you use superscript on Gaia?)

nickels? easy...
This ones really easy but its the only one I have:
A man is driving his son to a baseball game when they have a car accident. The father dies and the son needs a risky surgery to survive. The surgeon comes into the room and says, "Could you please assign another surgeon to this patient? I can't operate on him; he's my son." Who is the surgeon??? (Like I said... too easy D:

The surgeon is the son's mother.
There are two answers to my riddle.
10 nickels
or
5 pennies, 4 nickels, and 1 quarter
The denominations of US coins are: penny=$.01, nickel=$.05, dime=$.10, quarter=$.25, Half-dollar=$.50, and a dollar (either a coin or paper money)=$1.00
follow up question: What are thirty coins that add up to one dollar?

Here's one that stumps....well....everybody I've ever told.
There are these 2 doors. One leads to death and one leads to (idk...fame? fortune? heaven? life? whatever you want..something good). You don't know which is which. There are 2 guards for the doors. One ONLY tells the truth, no matter what, and the other ONLY tells lies (no matter what). You get ONE question for ONE guard to figure out which door is the right door. What do you ask? (Note: Yes, you HAVE to go through a door, and you can't like, open one door and then pick the other or anything stupid like that)

Good job, symbolism of number one. The answer I got was
25 pennies (25 cents)
1 nickel (5 cents)
2 dimes (20 cents)
2 quarters (50 cents)
By the way, pennies refer to the coin, not the monetary unit.
First, does the guard that tells truth stand in front of the good door? If he does, then the question is: "Which is your door?"
If not, I don't know.
Complete this sequence:
2 4 3 6 5 ?

You ask: "What would the other guard say if you asked him which is the good door?".
The truthful guard will point to the death door, and so will the lying guard.

By the way, after the answer, you just go through the other door.
Or through the door that he showed you if you want to die.
Thanks, Lightwater2520. blaugh
