Riddle of the day Today's Riddle   A butler is promised $100 and a cloak as his wages for a year. After 7 months he leaves this service, and receives the cloak and $20 as his due. How much is the cloak worth?     Yesterday's Riddle Toni loves dumplings. She can eat 32 of them in an hour. Her brother Paul needs three hours to eat the same amount.   How long will it take them both together to eat 32 dumplings?     Yesterday's Answer   If Toni eats three times as fast as Paul, she must be able to eat three times as many dumplings as her brother.   Therefore, she must be able to eat 24 while he eats 8, 24+8 equals 32.   But here we're asked to measure time. We want to know how long it took Paul and Toni to eat the dumplings. The 24 and 8 respectively took 45 minutes.     Joke of the Day   "I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book."
