Alright hot-shot, figure this one out:

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

02-10-2005, 04:46 PM
EDIT: is this right?
hold up! your subtracting then adding, if your gonna be right about this, each of them only paid $9 and the bellboy kept 2, if your gonna subtract those 3 dollars from the $30 you have to subtract the $2 from the $27, for a total of $5, which you may then add back to the real $25 charge to get the spent $30

kvon78
02-10-2005, 05:25 PM
it dosnt matter that each of them payed 9 dollors the clerk has 25 the other people have a combined amount of 5 its still 30$

think of it this way by the end of teh story it looks like this:

Clerk:25
+
3men:3
+
bellhop:2
=
30 dollors.

its a play on adding and subtracting that fools you into doing more work than is nessisary.

(this is the best answer i have, my head is about to explode)

25 dollars in the cash register, 3 in the hands of the guys, 2 in the hands of the greedy ass bellhop. 25+3+2=30

OK I found the answer (more of a problem in the story)


So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room.

OK thats 30

Each of the three people paid 9 bucks

But since the clerk overcharged them, wouldn't their money rise instead of go down?

EDIT: Never mind, I'm sorry... I'm dumb. You got to understand that when you watch a show that includes Canadians fighting each other, you'll get distracted.

I'll put the answers to these in black text after the question so you can check it.




You're the bus driver. At the first bus stop, 5 kids get on. At the second bus stop, 7 kids get on and 4 get off. At the third 10 kids get on, and 6 off. Fourth bus stop 2 on and 6 off. And at the last bus stop, 6 kids get on, and 14 get off. So, what's the color of the bus drivers eyes? Look in the mirror. You are the busdriver =D



How far can you walk into the woods? Halfway



Two girls are walking down the beach with an empty bag collecting sea shells. How many shells can they fit in the empty bag? One, after that it's not empty anymore

Because once again somehow canadians become a comic joke to certain americains, as if we aren't true people. You have no idea how much crap Canadians take from Americans, just look at south park for christ's sake. I am like I stated, amazingly patriotic, and I will stand up when ever I feel we have been insulted. Why do you think he found it funny? Because they were Canadian and undoubtedly portrayed in some idiotic fashion. If he found it funny for another reason, he wouldn't have said Canadian. I get incredilbly fed up with that kind of crap, and since it comes almost entirely from Americans, I chalk it up as a jackass American comment.

South Park is a bad example for you to use, they make fun of everyone.....not JUST Canadians

Your being a Hypocrit, You say that you don't like it when Canadians are being mocked, but you turn around and in the same sentence insult me as an American

Poor Canada, always being picked on, Grow UP! Everyone gets made fun of

Americans for being fat lazy and stupid (which alot of us aren't)

French for not being able to defend themselves (which they can)

Canadians for being stupid, or funny looking, I don't make fun of you guys so I don't really know what to say about that.

Poland For being Stupid (I am polish, and am very intelligent)

And it goes on and on and on

I would rather you say just another Jackass comment if you are going to be mad about someone makign fun of Canada, because I really hate hypocracy

Wow, you are so far off, it's not even funny. I'm not saying poor Canada, i'm defending it, and yes Americans do have very low opinions of candians in general, we have news reports about this kind of stuff all the time. I never insulted you either, if you see my last post you will see that I said CERTAIN Americans, and I reffered to him as a jackass american, because he has that I am better than Canada attitude. I never generalized, and nor did I say I despised Americans or made fun of them. What I despise is that arrogant attitude I see from so many Americans, or just the general ignorance. Yes, I do get angry when American's have never heard of Alberta, or don't know the most basic facts about Canada, because it shows close mindedness and unwillingness to learn about those around you. Like I said, I don't think that about all american's and I do my very best not to make generalizations, infact I have the utmost respect for a great deal of you, yourself included. However I always have and always will take offense to the America is better than Canada attitude because it's incredibly detrimental to Canadians.

*EDIT* Also, think about what you just said, all of those except for Americans being fat is nonsense, and that is why it angers me. The obesity rate in America is huge, and Canada is only slightly better, so that is true. The other ones, don't even get me started. These forums should be proof that those others aren't true, why bother making retarded stereotypes like that? That is exactly the kind of thing that gets my heart a pounding. If someone said Canadians are fat, fine, they are, we have a serious problem with that, but that is a cultural problem.

During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?


This is an old one, but it's still good.

When she's halfway across, she's not leaving Germany, she's entering Switzerland >< She just has to start the moment he enters the tower, and she'll be halfway across by the time he comes back out.
