Funny, I had no idea until I wrote the last one out trying to do the math. Quote: If E times ILE equals BANISH, and TE times T equals BOOK, what does TO times IN equal?
A. BREATH B. TEASER C. RUTABAGA D. POISON E. COPPER E X ILE = BANISH TE X T = BOOK TO X IN = POISON

You are such a good sleuth, Blueszone! You figured it out! If you replace the word "times" with the letter X, then you make the words and relate them.  Great job!

Yes, you can look at the one dollar bill and answer this question:
how many times does the word or number "1" appear on every U.S. one dollar bill?

If we count "one"s on every current dollar bill, I see it 8 times spelled out as a word, 8 times represented with a number, 1 as a part of the date in the green seal on the obverse (1789), and Roman numeral I at the base of the pyramid.
So, I got 18 times.

Quote: So, I got 18 times You found 2 more than the answer I had, Svslav. Great job! The answer I had was 16, but they evidently were not as observant as you! Wonderful!

Hint.......there is a name for the problem they all shared.
Example: you can't say "clothes", you have to say "shirt"

A lady brought in a laptoy her ex-boyfriend had purposely changed the Windoze password on. No problem, load SX squad disc, ten minutes later, no password. Customer thrilled to pay 25 bucks.
