A girl liked to collect money in a piggy bank. She bought pink colored piggy bank when she was 10 years old. She put $250 in the box on each of her birthdays. Her younger sister took $50 out of her piggy bank on her birthday. The girl died when she was 50 years old due to an incurable disease.
When the piggy bank was opened, it had just $500, and no one else had touched it.

Just draw the lines extending past the dots and their are many solutions. Here is one of them. This riddle is the reason for the phrase ‘thinking outside of the box’.
