MONEY

GRABBER

Here’s a chance to beat

your friend in a money

challenge. All it takes is a

speedy finger and a little

science know-how about

moving objects.

Arrange the dollar

bill and coins as

shown. Challenge

your friend to

remove the dollar

without the coins

falling off. They

can only touch the

bill, not the coins.

They won’t be able to

do it... and the coins will

go everywhere! Now it’s

your turn. First, secretly

lick your index finger

or wet it under a tap.
