Art Cashin

Markets guru Art CashinUBS Financial Services' director of floor operations at the NYSE, is a legend on the floor of the Big Board.

He's also known for his daily newsletter Cashin's Comments

And in this Wall Street must-read he never forgets to include a fun piece of trivia at the end.

The questions are usually logic, math or history related.

We've compiled his latest trivia questions and will kick things off with last Friday's question.

The answer is posted on each subsequent slide. Have fun!

Last Friday's Question

Winkin, Blinkin and Nod had a total of 60 silver dollars to buy a pig.  The pig cost $72.  They asked Barnaby for a loan. He agreed only if they could guess how many silver dollars he had.  His hint - I have 3 fewer than the average if we took all our coins and divided them equally.  How many did he have?
