In summary, the conversation revolves around the TV show Scrubs and the different opinions and jokes about it. One person loves the show while another is not a big fan. They discuss the best seasons and a joke about a nickel and a dime. The conversation ends with someone explaining the joke and another person making a sarcastic comment.

I love Scrubs.

Scrubs is excellent, although I think the earlier series were better, there is only so much material for Dr Cox's rants I suppose :smile:

Yes and to reinforce the lack of humour for those who lack it, one's a nickel and ones a quarter:wink:, thus 30 cents; the other thing, it's not meant to be a question about the solution, the solution is obvious.

By the way I think Arildno was being sarcastic.:smile:hehe.

FAQ: What are the two coins that add up to 30 cents, with one not being a nickel?

How is it possible for 2 coins to add up to 30 cents?

It is possible for 2 coins to add up to 30 cents because the coins in question are a quarter (25 cents) and a nickel (5 cents).

Can any other combination of coins add up to 30 cents?

No, only a quarter and a nickel can add up to exactly 30 cents. Other combinations, such as 3 dimes and a nickel, add up to 35 cents.

How do you know that 2 coins add up to 30 cents and not a different amount?

Based on the question, it is assumed that the coins in question are a quarter and a nickel. These are the only two coins that add up to exactly 30 cents.

Is there a mathematical formula for solving this problem?

Yes, the mathematical formula would be: x + y = 30, where x is the value of the first coin and y is the value of the second coin. In this case, x = 25 and y = 5.

How does this relate to scientific principles or concepts?

This question does not necessarily relate to scientific principles or concepts, but it does demonstrate basic mathematical skills and problem-solving abilities, which are important skills for any scientist to have.
