Question: What coins does he have and how does this seemingly just an easy math question also relate to philosophy!?
Oprah goes shopping for her friends one weekend and buys everything in Chicago!. She has only a $1 bill and a 50 cent coin left, and she stops at a newsstand!. "Can you give me change for a dollar, please!?" she asks the proprietor!. "I'm sorry, no," he replies!. So she asks, "Well then can you change a half dollar!?" He checks his cash box!. "No!. I have $1!.15 in coins, but I can't make change for a quarter, a dime, or even a nickel!." What coins does he have and how does this simple (math!?) problem relate to aspects of philosophy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The math is easy and someone has already done it anyway!. You got me on this one Professor ! My guess is it some how relates to a particular philosopher, but I will wait for someone else to take this one!. Poor Einstein!. He obviously knows nothing about philosophy!. I think (I will not give it away) that one person is on the right track!. I don't know what to give away any way!. Darn, this was only my fourth time to try and answer one of your questions and I am lost in the philosophy forrest!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

He has a half dollar, a quarter and 4 dimes!.

If they bought everything in Chicago, why would they need change!? To buy what!?
