>On his deathbed, an Arabian prince calls his two sons two him & tells them that he wants them to race their camels to a distant city, the only catch being that it will be the son with the slowest camel that gets the entire inheritance. After many days of slow travel, they decide to ask a wise man for advice, after talking to the wise man they went out, jumped on the camels & raced as fast as they could to the distant city. What advice was given to them ?

>How many flowers have I got if all but 2 of them are roses, all but 2 of them are daffodils and all but 2 of them are carnations ?

I knew the first one with horses. The exact formulation of the condition, for who gets the inheritance, is important here. I read it as something like "he, whose horse arrives last..."

As to the flowers, I would say you have 3 flowers: one of each kind.

I have two U.S. coins, with a total value of 30 cents. One of the coins is not a nickel. What are the coins?

(Nickel = 5 cents. U.S. coins under 1 dollar come as 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents.)
