Art Cashin, UBS Financial Services' director of floor operations at the NYSE, is an icon on the trading floor.
He's also known for his daily newsletter Cashin's Comments.
One of the best parts of his daily-must read newsletter is he never forgets to include a fun piece of trivia at the end.
The questions are usually a piece of logic or math or history related.
We think they're a ton of fun, but it can get frustrating since he doesn't reveal the answer until the following day.
We've compiled this week's trivia questions. If you're a fan of math, we think you'll enjoy this week's set of questions.
We'll begin with last Friday's question. As always, the answer is posted on each subsequent slide. (Google is for cheaters!)
Last Friday's Question
Tommy is bringing sandwiches to the game, but is stopped by 3 bullies. The first takes half the sandwiches in the bag plus half a sandwich. The second takes half of what's left plus half a sandwich. The third takes half of what Tom has left plus half a sandwich. Tom then discovers the bag is empty. How many sandwiches did he start with?

Last Friday's Answer
Tom started with 7 sandwiches. The first bully took half (3.5) plus half a sandwich (.5) which makes 4 in all. Etc., etc. Today's Question - An old riddle - the one who makes it doesn't want to use it. The one who buys it doesn't use it. The one who uses it never sees it. What is it?
