Riddle #66
Every coin in my pocket is either silver, gold, or copper. All of them are silver except two. All of them are gold except two. All of them are copper except two. How many coins are in my pocket?
You solved this one before
Answer: 3
One silver coin, one gold coin, one copper coin. Only one of them is silver — so all of them are silver "except two," and the same story is true for the gold one and the copper one.
