Solving systems of equations with a twist! If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, then this is the problem for you. In this scenario, some money is found on the ground and you need to determine if it belongs in the cash box or not. You still need to set up two equations with two unknowns and solve, but then you have to reason through whether the solution makes sense in the context of the problem.
