So three guys are out hunting and its starting to get dark when they stumble onto a hunting lodge. They communicate amongst themselves and decide to get a room for the night. They ask the receptionist How much for a room? she replies $30 bucks. So the guys split the bill each paying ten dollars. A few minutes later the receptionist realizes she made a mistake. She calls the bag boy and hands him $5 dollars and tells him, go give this to the guys that just came in, I forgot we were having a special on rooms tonight. So on the way to the room the bag boy thinks to himself. There's 5 dollars here and only 3 guys. Well I'll keep 2 dollars for myself as a tip, and just give them each a dollar back. So he gets to the room and hands each one of the guys a dollar and apologizes that they have been overcharged for their room.
Now the guys originally paid $30 for the room. Each got a refund of a dollar, so that they now paid $9 dollars each. Well last time I counted 9x3 was 27 and 27 plus the 2 dollars the bag boy kept only equals 29. So where's the other dollar? |

The rules of maths are multiply and divide in the order they occur, add and subtract in the order they occur.
So 25 / 3 = 8.33 each paid to hotel.
3/3 = $1 returned to each
$2 taken by bagboy
(8.33 x 3) = $25 + $3 + $2 = $30
or another approach.
They paid $10 each = $30
They recieve back $1 each = $9 each paid for total hotel cost (room + thieving bagboy)
So 9 x 3 = $27 + $3 = $30

A new riddle.
A man is found dead, hanging 6 ft from the floor. There is nothing in the room but a puddle of water. How did he get up there to hang himself?

A man comes out of the desert, throat parched and he stumbles into the pub. Water water, croaks the man. So the barman pulls out a pistol and shoots him. Why???

Sounds like you really like having your hair combed as foreplay. "You know, when I'm looking good, I'm feeling good, baby!" |
