In your library class today, the librarian issued a challenge. She said that in one of the books in the library was a $100 bill placed between pages 75 and 76. If found today by anyone in class, he or she could keep the $100! All of the classmates began to look for the book; you, however, decided not to bother and logged on the internet till the end of class. Why didn't you look for the money?

[Mathster]

odd pages are on the right.
even pages are on the left.
between page 75 and 76 would be the middle of a piece of paper.

ANSWER (Congrat Mathster): You, unlike your classmates know that the odd page numbers of books are always on the right and even numbers are always on the left. Therefore, pages 75 and 76 could not be facing each other and further, the $100 bill could not be placed between pages 75 and 76.

You don't have to cry over spilt milk?

[acoustikarl]

Well, to answer Gizmo's riddle, it's no use crying over spilled milk.

Not sure what Cauzomb's is all about, though. Something about spilling beer or bumping waiters or barmaids.
