That wins you points, sir!
And Zen, let's not forget that the nutsetter wrote this at the dawn of the roaring 20's god knows what type of bathtub gin they were into then, not to mention the hangover from all the Victorian sex abstinence.

foot, perhaps you should post the new puzzles at a specific time of day - say 10 am Eastern time.

eta: Or... like the radio promotions that urge you to listen (through the endless commercials) for a specific song, a range in which the nut would be posted. That might be an easier target to hit. I do feel a certain timezone disadvantage here for when you rise and post early. Let's call it a handicap. hahhahahhahaha!

I like the random timings, it gives different people the chance to have first go.

I'm with Zen and Rhianne. I post them when I can get to the computer w/o SWMBO chewing my ass out.
So that being written, here are nuts 13 & 14. Someone wisely crossed out 13 since it is way too easy and involves currency. At least the denominations are stated.

#14: $2.00.
That's the pro rated cost for a trip that is $4 / 24 miles. The passenger is picked up at mile 6, travels 6 miles to the city, and 6 miles back to the crossroads, for a total of 12 miles. Of course, an infinite number of other answers could be given, with other equally valid justifications. eta: I'm with footfootfoot, who is with Zen and Rhianne. Random's fine. I love this thread.

#14. $1.
The team costs $1 per six mile stage, which IMHO should be shared equally between all those on board. First stage - 6 miles, $1, author alone = author pays $1. Second stage - 6 miles, $1, author and passenger, each pay 50 cents. Third stage - 6 miles, $1, author and passenger, each pay 50 cents. Fourth stage - 6 miles, $1, author alone = author pays $1.

#13 ...

If the list is supposed to be exhaustive, then there are no quarters and thus they cannot be changed. If the list is not exhaustive, then nothing rules out there being two and three cent pieces as well. Or even 8.75 cent pieces...

when you share a cab do you split the ticket this way? I, myself, am not in the habit of picking up hitchhikers, but when I do, I never charge them for the ride. My trip was already a sunk cost, and the extra expense of stopping one extra time to pick them up and once more to drop them off is negligible.

This isn't a bus, it's a hired "team".
Yeah, if I shared a cab under those circumstances, that is what I would consider fair. What is this crazy talk about "dropping off" hitchhikers?

The answer to #13 is 12 ways (like wonder bread)
The answer to #14 is (verbatim) $1 partners 1/2 trip At first I thought it should be $2. Thinking as though I were the owner of the team, upon reading the answer I realized that I was splitting the cost per mile with the other passenger. New nuts coming shortly.
