"in candy"? or "one candy"? |
| ste |

|
none, he's just given it all to his son |
| u r right |
| ||
This is correct. The $2.89 spent was "in candy", not cash. The boy still has all of the cash. |

This is not a riddle. This is just poor writing. The word, "in" must be assumed as a typo. It is a rare case that candy is considered currency. A riddle is a puzzle that promotes thought and attention to alternate meanings. |
| not enough info |

|
Not enough information given. The fact that he spend some money on candy does not imply that he did not spend more money elsewhere. |

If the son is black, in Fl and bought skittles then how much money he had wouldn't matter because he'd be murdered. |

As long as there is 'justice' against the person he attacked. |

Not enough information, the variable being we don't know if the son had any of his own money to begin with. |

It appears that one man gave his son some money, and then his son's son bought some candy. Therefore, the first son still has all that was given to him. |
