lawrencekill Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 OK I have a tricky one, three men go to a hotel to stay the night. Problem is there is only one room so they decide to share. the room costs 25$ for the night but the desk clerk is a scammy fellow and charges them 30$ for the night. Each man pays 10$ (10 * 3 = 30) The manager however notices what the sly clerk is up to and demands that he return the extra 5 dollars. So the clerk takes 5 1 dollar bill out of the till... on his way to the room the evil clerk decides it is to hard to divide 5$ three ways so he quickly pockets 2 1 dollar bills and give each man one dollar change. This means that each man has paid 9$ (10-1=9). the problem arises when you do a check sum. 3 men @ 9$ each equals 27 doallrs and the clerk has two dollars in his pocket. THIS ONLY EQUALS 29 DOLLARS AND THEY DEFINATELY PAID 30 ORIGINALLY. WHERE HAS THE DOLLAR GONE. Ok, let's split this up. $25 and $5 As we know the 5 was split between the three men and the clerk took 2. Now we look at the $25. It cannot be evenly split between three people, so one of the men paid an extra dollar for hotel. 3x8=24 Nice one, had to think for a while.

Fadfdfd Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? If a woodchuck could chuck wood then chuck norris would be the woodchuck chucking the wood, because his name is chuck norris. He would obviously chuck 10000000000000000000 woodchucks because his name is chuck...norris :D I know, you didn't understand any of that :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktorkrum77 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Here, solve this riddle. A man and a woman are laying dead on a brown table in a square room that is all white. Above them is a blue circle painted on the ceiling, below them is a red square painted on the floor. They didn't die of murder, or of a traditional death. So how did they die? *Hint* The brown table, the red square and the blue circle are the key to how they died. The room being white serves no importance except to point out the obvious clues without distraction. Also, the square and circle are about 12 cm in height and width. Does the height and width have anything to do with the riddle? Not really, but it helps eliminate posabilities. It helps for imagining what the scene would look like. Anyways, that's what I was told, it's just to help you picture it basically. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, that's what I was told, it's just to help you picture it basically. So the man and woman painted the circle? Well I guess one of them probably fell down while painting the circle on the ceiling, but there's no ladder so... So was it a suicide, or accidental suicide?

This riddle is hard, turst me, I couldn't figure it out, I cheated and asked my friend. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tefda Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? This is difficult to question answer. The amount of wood that woodchucks would chuck on a given day varies greatly with the individual woodchuck. According to a Wall Street Journal article, New York State wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equal to 700 pounds. source: http://www.raptureready.com/faq/faq50.html NICE! Great find :shock: !
