Got Change?
RAY: Here's the answer. The bill was $13.59, so his change was $36.41 from the 50. And how would you get $36.41 change? You'd give the customer a twenty, a ten, a five, a one, a quarter, a dime, a nickel and a penny. So he's getting one of each of all the things that are in the compartments.
TOM: No kidding!
RAY: Yes. No Susan B. Anthony dollars or Sacagawea coins. Most cash registers have a place for twenties, tens, fives and ones, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. And that's about it, and the fifties and hundreds they stick in their pocket.
TOM: That's pretty cute.
RAY: Do we have a winner?
TOM: Yeah. We have a winner. It's Chuck Yates from Pulaski, Virginia. And for having his answer selected at random from all the correct answers that we got, Chuck is going to get a $26 gift certificate to the Shameless Commerce Division at cartalk.com, which with Chuck can get any of our fine Car Talk CD collections.
RAY: I didn't realize we had any fine CD collections. I thought they were all more or less like our show, like lousy.
TOM: Well, it's artistic license. Congratulations, Chuck!
