    I've got 2 coins in my pocket that add up to 35 cents, but one of them is not a quarter. How is this possible?
    The other one is a quarter..

            3 girls share a room at 30$, they pay 10$ each.The tender feel guilty and send the janitor to give back 5$, on his way to the room he realise that he cant equaly split the 5$ in 3 so he decide to keep 2$ and give the girls 1$ each.

            The girls paid 9$ each that's 27$ +the 2$ the janitor kept make it 29$.

            Where is the missing 1$?

                The janitor's $2 should be added to the manager's $25 or subtracted from the girls' $27, not added to the girls' $27.

                    30-money actually paid
                    5-retuned
                    3-to each of them
                    2-went to the janitor

                    25-3=28
                    The actual money paid by girls is $28 not $27!

                                    $30 - $5 for janitor to refund the girls = $25
                                    $25 + $3 returned to the girls = $28
                                    $28 + $2 from the janitor = $30

                                    Ok ok, i got to admit that this one is better in spoken mode.

                                        Ya know, I was going to post that but decided to post the disgusted faces instead. I hate having to over-explain myself. In any event, I'm glad you saw it.

                                            $25 (cash on hand) + $2 (janitor) = $ 27 (pd. by girls) + $3(refund) = $30 payment received

                                            same as

                                            30-(9x3)pd by girls = 3(refund) + 2(janitor)=$5 returned.

                                                Ok, here's an old one but a classic since I love mythology.

                                                What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the evening, and three legs at night?

                                                    Yes, it's very old and refers to "man" walking on all fours as an infant, two legs as an adult and with a cane in his/her elderly years.

If he died in 40 B.C. after living to 81 then it would be 121 B.C when he was born. So King Tut was born in 240 or 241 B.C. give or take.

So Eros has to be 81 for their ages to combine to 100. If he died in 40 B.C. after living to 81 then it would be 121 B.C when he was born. So King Tut was born in 240 or 241 B.C. give or take.

Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened/read carefully, I already told you what the word is.

However, since their combined ages equalled 100, there was a span of 20 years where neither one of them were alive. That span of 20 years was 40 B.C. (when King Eros died) and 20 B.C. (when King Tut was born).

However, since their combined ages equalled 100, there was a span of 20 years where neither one of them were alive. That span of 20 years was 40 B.C. (when King Eros died) and 20 B.C. (when King Tut was born).

Dont understand the explanation though..
