The format goes " I have two coins that add up to 35 cents and one is not a quarter."
The answer is a quarter and a dime, for only ONE of the coins is not a quarter.
With your approach, NOTHING will suffice

If the question means "Two American coins total 35 cents, and one of them is not a quarter," then the answer is a dime and a quarter. (It's true that one of them is not a quarter, it's a dime.)
If the question means "Make 35 cents using two kinds of American coins, without using quarters" then you could do it with any two of pennies, nickels, and dimes.
