Question

A good answer

$4,900 (September 2024) for Peg's own ring, the 0.72 ct round diamond in yellow gold from 1977. There is a second diamond solitaire, her mother's, in white gold, appraised at $3,750; a good answer does not confuse them.

Traps it covers

near_duplicate Each current policy sits next to last year's. Peg has an old and a new passport. Two diamond solitaire rings, hers and her mother's. Old and new doses of the same drug. Two jewelry appraisals eight years apart, whose names no longer say which is current. Two years of the accountant's summary. The 2019 wills and the 2003 ones are both still in the grey box, per two notes. Not every expired policy is labelled as such any more; the dates say it.
