Answer to last week's riddle: Bubba is in Eastern Oregon (Mountain time); Coy is in Western Florida (Central time), and the phone call takes place on daylight-savings-time changeover day between 2:00 am and 3:00 am, after Coy has "leapt forward," but before Bubba has done so.

Last week's riddle asked: "Coy is in an East Coast state. He calls Bubba, in a West Coast state, and asks what time it is there. After hearing Bubba's response, Coy (correctly) replies, "That's funny it's the same time here." Explain."

This week's riddle: Your boss determines your bonus by placing 2 slips of paper with $0 and $10,000 written on them in a hat and having you pick. Right before your meeting, a rival employee (and favorite of the boss's) informs you that he, the rival, has written $0 on both of the slips of paper that you will draw from. When you meet with your boss and go through the routine of pulling a slip, what non-verbal action should you take to ensure that you get a bonus?
