Where can I find, online, a short mystery about a suspected counterfeit coin?
Could it possibly have been the brain teaser entitled “Artifacts” at John Rudolph’s site? He has an extensive online collection of brain teasers. [http://www.webcom.com/jrudolph/trap_q1.html] “ARTIFACTS” Professor Herring just returned from a six month vacation in the middle East. In one of the lectures she gave, she said the highlight of the trip was seeing many ancient artifacts first-hand. She made mention of having seen several mummies and tapestries dating as far back as 200 B.C. She claimed to have seen coins dated 46 B.C., and weapons made of metal from approximately 500 B.C. What is wrong with Professor Herring’s claims? Solution: Coins would not have been stamped with “B.C.” on them.
