✅ Answer: A quarter (25¢) and a nickel (5¢).
“One of them is NOT a nickel.” That’s true — the QUARTER is not a nickel. The OTHER one IS a nickel.
The statement “one of them is not a nickel” doesn’t mean NEITHER is a nickel. It means exactly what it says: one (the quarter) is not a nickel.
This exploits implicit assumption — your brain interpreted “one is not a nickel” as “neither can be a nickel.” But that’s not what was said. Your brain added a rule that didn’t exist.
