Hint: 0 is not a degree--the others are.

Unless we're talking about Obama Barack here... As in 'Obama's PhD'...?
It looks like a list but you can read it straight...

What is "0"? What is the position of the others relative to it?

Ah. A pun. No, I wasn't looking for one of those.
Not that I'd likely have gotten it anyway, mind...

OK. Back to math. A wife needs more money from her husband, a professor of mathematics. She sends him this telegram in which each letter represents a number. How much money was she asking for?
SEND+MORE=MONEY

You have 6 coins in your pocket which total $1.15. You can't make change for anyone.
What are the coins?

I think this would work in US$
4 * 25 cents. 1 * 10 cents 1 * 5 cents.

I think before solving this one I need to know what coins are available in the US. Can anyone give us a currency rundown (With numbers, not slang, please! ;D)

I think this would work in US$ 4 * 25 cents. 1 * 10 cents 1 * 5 cents. Wrong. 4 quarters will give you change for a dollar. We have no 2c pieces. We do have: 1.00 .50 .25 .1 .05 .01

Aah, language thing again. That's not how I understood the change thing. I'll go back to thinking
