Here’s a brain teaser for you (or is it a riddle? I’ve never quite understood the difference).
A man owed $63 and paid the debt without using coins or one dollar bills. There were no online transfers, checks, or any tricky business. He paid exactly $63 without getting any change back.
How did he do it?
