The pyramid and a $100 bill: SOLUTION

Most people who try to solve this riddle think how to save the $ 100 bill as well as not disturb the pyramid. but the riddle didn't mention anything about saving the bill.

we as humans most likely tend to see things differently through a window, this window is our frame of mind .you and i could be looking at the same exact thing, but see it very different. in the case of the pyramid and the $100 bill we valued the $ 100 more, that burning it wasn't an option. our frame of mind just didn't see this solution. we assumed that the bill had to be safe.

therefore,
the solution to the riddle is to Burn the $100 bill.

    You're making it disapear from under the pyramind.

    But you're not removing it...there's a difference, removing it implies that it be whole, making it disappear means make it vanish w/ no regard to the object.

    Remove also means to go away; depart; disappear and eliminate.

    again, this all goes back to your frame of mind but you're actually removing the bill (making it not there) from under the pyramid by burning it, you could also cut it into half, but then that's a bit hard to do without disturbing the pyramid.

    I don't know if it would burn under the pyramid and it may put some soot on that pyramid or leaving it discolored and not undisturbed.
