RacOne New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 08/16/2012 4:00 pm I came a across a coin in a lot. It is heavily worn and looks to only have one side with any detail. It looks to be bronze and is not perfectly round nore is it uniformly thick. The distinguishing marks are a crown over a large shield or coat of arms. To the left of the shield is "CLXIV" The C is large and wraps around the X. Effectivly it is written with the large C covering 2 lines. While the L is level with the top of the C, the XIV is under the L, with the X in the mouth of the C. To the right of the shield is a J. All letters are capital. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

It's from Norway, and in slightly better condition may have looked something like this. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

So there is a house with no windows and three rooms. Outside there are three switches for a light in each room. They are all in the off position... you can enter the house only one time and when you come out you must say which switch controls which light....
