Can you explain the shoes and socks riddle? I understand that the calculation is correct, but it is only one of several solutions, isn't it? Or am I missing something? As far as I see it, it could be both 10 or 5 cents - in fact it could be everything between 1 and 10 cents - assuming that the socks aren't free. Can anyone help me understand this?
