My little sister barged into my room clutching a paper bag. "Betcha can't guess how many stickers I bought for $6.25!"
"I guess I won't bother to guess. There's no way anyone could know how many stickers are in that bag," I told her.
"Figure it out," said the little smart aleck. "The stickers were all the same price. The number I bought is the same as the number of cents in each price."
"Hmmm...well, OK now I know it but I'm not going to tell you!" (I hate to admit when I'm stuck.)
How many stickers are in the bag and how much did each one cost?

Ummm, dude, thats a math problem, not a brain teaser. Get it? Got it? Good!
It's a good teaser, but kinda easy, all you have to do is get the square root of 6.25. I got this one.
uhh mastermind that would be why its in the "math" category =)
Probably the easiest easer i have ever done. In fact, it was more of a kindergarten math question
sorry there should be a t in front of easer
Oh please! Since when did taking the square root of 625 qualify as a teaser?
Lame.
Lame.
Easy and a little boring.
I agree with last comment, when did finding a square root become a teaser?
