ANSWER IS NOW LISTED BELOW...

In the middle of the night last night, I invented a riddle. Think about it over the weekend and take a shot at it! I'll post the solution (who knows...maybe there is more than 1 answer and ya'll will come up with something) on Monday. Comments will be hidden until then. Here it is...
Dave and his 5 friends are stranded on a desert island. Nobody has any money and there is no money on the island other than the five, $1.00 bills Dave has in his wallet (no more, no less). Dave decides to give each of his friends on the island $1.00. After he gives each of his friends a $1.00 bill, amazingly there is still $1.00 left in the wallet! How is that possible?
Good Luck!

Dave had 5 friends and 5, $1.00 bills in his wallet. After each friend got a $1.00 bill there was still $1.00 left in the wallet. The answer is - he gave the wallet to one of his friends as well. So it took out 4, $1.00 bills and gave them to 4 of his 5 friends, and the last friend he gave the wallet to with the $1.00 bill still in it. So now all 5 friends have $1.00 and the wallet has $1.00 left inside as well!

sorry mike - i just saw this post now... i wouldn't have figured it out though - It seems as though you aren't as "exhausted" at night as I am if you can come up with riddles - talk to Jen about our phone call today - although I think she already told you what happened! :) ha!
