When you place the quarter and the dime
in the middle of the table, couldn't you
put the dime underneath it in the first
place?

Pretty cool.
I got it on my first try. Easy.
this is an old and easy trick
but still good.
but still good.
My grandfather, a man of many a such tricks will LOVE that one. THX
if you cant touch it with anything at all, then you have to lift the quarter off the table... how, you ask? with your magical powers, i guess..........
I even got that one right and I stink at teasers E Z
*sighs*
horseluver why do you do that. you always go.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.that is rude
clever but simple i like it though
Its okay.
i got it strait away! good one though.
i first saw this one in a magic book.
Yay! I got it!! And I just guessed at it. Good teaser! I liked it!
cool
too easy...
Duh, that was sooooooooo easy.
At first I said, place the quarter on top of the dime to start with. Then I read the ckue and it was obvious.
typo. clue
but the quarter would be touching something.
cute but easy
ILL touch YOUR quarter!!!!
that was FREAKING awesome!!
you my friend, are a genius!!
you my friend, are a genius!!
i feel special, i actually got one even if it was really easy...thanx
Good one but the hint completely gave it away
ok i liked it but when iu said "not touching" i thought you slid it on the table to where it was under the qourter
This is the oldest trick in the book!
Fun the hint kinda gave it away but i liked it. Hmm...I think I'm gonna try it on someone.
i agree with roman phoenix
i mean, the quarter and dime cant both be in the middle of the table unless one is on top of the other.
If they were next to eachother, one of the coins would have to be off center.
other than that, i thought it was really creative and good!

i had to look at the hint

boringzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Or you could pick the quarter up and place the dime under it - still not touching it with "anything at all," treating that as an object itself!
I got it as the answer was loading
thats an awesome trick i think ll bet someone for like 5 dollars or something that i can do that....thanks
That's just asking to become a bar bet.
easy, I liked it
I loved it! Great teaser!
Great teaser! thought the hint gave it away
But say the table is fixed to the ground, not w/a under
hahaha! nice..
GOOOOOD ONE
See, I thought under meant like this:
Quarter
Dime
Quarter
Dime
That was way too easy!
Too easy
I thought u had to place the quater below the dime like this:
Quater
Dime
Quater
Dime
hmm... unbelievable someone could miss that... it was way too easy
Nice and easy.
I got it, pretty easy
Sooooo easy! I stink at these and i still got it!
It is till touching oxygen, nitrogen, etc. Good teaser.
Great Brainteaser! Very Easy Though!

I liked it so HA all my friends who never try trick brain teasers!
I thought the answer was going to be that the dime is worth less than the quarter. To me that makes more sense.
This was a great teaser! Until I opened the hint. It could have been rated slightly harder if the hint was more vague
Easy, though I agree with other comments. You could place the quarter on top of the dime and I would still consider the quarter to be "on the table".
