Can someone plz help me with a riddle I was sent by a potential employer? I've never seen this before when seeking employment- but I'd like to solve the question proposed:
You had a crazy party last night; things got a little out of hand. All you have are 3 apples and a flute at your house. You have no money, you have no phone. You do have 6 friends coming over to help you clean. You need to hand everyone a full apple when they arrive as an offering for their help in repairing your house. You can't leave the house because the plumber could show up at any time and you're the one responsible for getting the bathtub fixed after your friends filled in with beer and goldfish (fish tank). Timmy walks through the door flipping a coin. "I couldn't find a gum ball machine. Do you have anything to eat?" (Timmy lost his wallet last night; he's hungry). Tommy will arrive in 10 minutes - he has a $100 gift card to hot topic. Willy and Reggie will be there in 15 minutes - they have a tent in their car. Cindy and Muffin will arrive in 20 minutes - muffin likes to bake. Apples cost 15 cents and the store is 5 minutes away. The store only accepts cash. Everyone needs to have an apple. What will you do?

This is not a riddle but a kind of puzzle. The key here appears to be ***** and Reggie - they have a car and a tent - and Tommy, who has money in the form of a gift card for a store called Hot Topic. When ***** and Reggie arrive, have them pitch the tent for everyone to wait in, since the house is in a shambles.

  • Then let Tommy take the car and somehow buy 3 more apples with his gift card, either at Hot Topic, if they have apples, or by somehow getting cash at Hot Topic through his gift card, and then coming back to the store that has apples and is 5 min.
