On my 12th birthday, my dad took me to see his friends at work. One of them gave me 12 pencils and another gave me 12 quarters (adding up to $3). Another one - my dad's favorite employee, gave me 13 cookies.
What was my dad's favorite employee's job?
And, knowing that all the employees worked in the same building, what were the jobs of the person that gave me pencils and the person that gave me money?
