Every day, one can always expect a fun trivia question at the end of Cashin's Comments—the newsletter put out by Art CashinUBS Financial Services' director of floor operations at the NYSE.

The questions are typically logic, math or history-related, and can get a bit frustrating because Cashin won't release the answer until his newsletter the next day.

We collected the questions and answers from this week. They're a festive bunch, with lots of references to St. Patrick's Day.

Last Friday's Question

Where do you keep the spare change?  Dad left his ATM card at the office so he tried to borrow from his daughter, Ann.  She offered him two choices - the money in the bureau less the money in her purse or half of the total.  Dad opted for the half and got $70.  If he had taken the other option, he would have got $100.  How much was in her purse?

Last Friday's Answer

The purse held $20 and the bureau $120.

Monday's Question

Vanna say "Oh!"  -  While "E" is everywhere, the letter "O" can be prevalent.  For example, Door to Door and Voodoo Doll are two common phrases of 10 letters having only "o" for a vowel.  Can you think of a 4 word phrase (15 letters) that has only "o's" and means thorough or thoroughly?
