A ball and a tennis racket cost £1.10 when purchased together.
If the tennis rackets costs £1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

Apparently most University students struggled with that o.O

5 pence.

And how easy was that?  wink
Some of these riddles confuse me.. How is it Nursery + Primary students answer them easily, but college and University students struggle with them...

I guess It's because the answer is so simple, so if you think too hard, you completely miss the answer xD

Clues:
No Murderer
Nothing Supernatural
There is a right answer
All died at the same time
No poison, knives, guns, koolaid involved, hunger/Thirst.

Ask a question and I can give a yes or no answer.
