What is 5 pennies joke?

The "5 Pennies Joke" is a classic prank often played on unsuspecting victims. The joke involves presenting the victim with five pennies and asking them to spell the word "orange" using only the five coins.

The victim may initially struggle to figure out how to spell the word with just five coins, leading to some amusing moments. Eventually, the prankster will reveal that the trick is not in the spelling, but in the pronunciation. The answer to the trick question is "O-R-A-N-G-E," pronounced as "O-R-ANGE."

While the origin of the joke is unknown, it has been passed down through generations and continues to be a popular prank played on friends and family. Some variants of the joke involve using six or seven coins, but the basic concept remains the same: to mislead the victim with a trick question that has a surprising answer.
