Split the Bill

Split the Bill

You've just finished lunch at an Italian restaraunt with three other CBers, and the waitress is here for your payment. Since it's an Italian restaraunt, the bill is exorbitantly expensive. And since you're a nice person eating lunch with nice people, you split the bill, down to the smallest cent.

However, something's gone wrong! First of all, just for context, you only have cash. Second of all, the problem is, pooling your money, you're one cent short!

Find a way to get that one cent to the waitress, and do it quickly. The waitress is growing impatient.

I'm in an inventive mood today, this is something I want to try out; you can guess who I am, but it's not really relevant.

The game will continue once four CBers respond, matching the four CBers who are spllitting the bill.

Clovertoe, Tealeaf, Majestic Mary, and Honeybee are trying to split the bill. Each one of them has to come up with a way to get one cent quickly. The more ridiculous the better: go!

Sorry this is kinda late! 

I glance around, looking for someway to get a cent. Something out the window catches my eye: An old, red vending machine thats sitting next to a dumpster. Maybe when they collected the money, they accidentally left a bit behind? that could be our way out of this sittuation. "I'll be right back!" I say. I run outside to the vending machine and come to another problem. I don't know how to open a vending machine! I look at my surroundings and try to think of ways to use them to my advantage. There's some firewood, a rusty pickaxe, lots of cardbaord boxes, and an old-looking bicycle. ok, maybe I can use the pickaxe to smash apart the vending machine, and find a penny! Immediately, I rush to grab the pickaxe and start tearing up the machine. I'm thinking about three things: 1. I must look ridiculous. 2. I hope I don't get in trouble for this... 3. there might not even be this thing! After thoroughly destroying the machine, I put the pickaxe down and start looking for a penny. Jammed in the corner of the spot where money is collected, is presicely one cent. Wow, I think. That was lucky. I bolt back into the building and hand the coin to the Waitress. "Sorry for the delay,"I apologize."I didn't want to keep you waiting, but I also didn't want to leave without paying the proper ammount."

I hope this is a quick enough way to get a penny. Also, this is a super fun idea!

Tealeaf gets the one cent to the waitress in time, and she grudgingly takes it. The four of you step outside, into the bright sunlight. Suddenly, someone runs past you, with someone in an apron yelling "Stop! Thief!" after them. You have to catch the thief. Find a way, the more ridiculous the better.
