I think it has something to do with the fact that there's no zero?
Nah. Disregard that. I'm not the best at these brain teasers.
The second one I got right using MATHS.
[title:Math]
x is the bottle, and y is the cork
x + y = 1.10
x = y + 1.00
y + y + 1.00 = 1.10
2y = 0.10
y = 0.05
x = 0.05 + 1.00
x = 1.05
Thus the bottle alone is worth $1.05
