I have two coins making 55 cents but one is not a nickel. How can that be?

  1. Only one is a nickel

  2. Only one is not a nickel, because it is a 50 cent piece. The other is a nickel.

  3. This is not possible

  4. Only one is a nickel, because it is a 50 cent piece. The other is not a nickel.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The riddle states that "one" is not a nickel, which implies the other coin is. A 50-cent piece (half dollar) and a nickel total 55 cents. Option 492246 correctly identifies this logic, whereas the others fail to resolve the riddle's constraint.
