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.

sniperwolf · 06-23-2005, 09:36 PM

$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.

Good one!

Alright. Bizzy is a happy girl. Will hopefully have the money to get her shots next week. I'm still working at hell, though may be moving up in the hierarchy. How's things down there in Shakey Town?

The combined ages of King Eros and King Tut at their deaths was 100 years old.

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

hmmm...good one. I know King Tut lived to be 19. 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.

The letter "e" is not found in this paragraph.

There are three words in the English language that end in GRY. 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.

There was a span of 120 years between King Eros' death and King Tut's birth. 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).

If King Tut died at 99 and King Eros died at 1
King Eros was born in 39 BC since he died in 40 BC
King Tut died 120 years after 39 BC, i.e. 79 AD
then King Tut was born in 20 BC
..

hmm interesting puzzle, we can give any combination for the age of the two kings to add upto 100 and we still end up with 20 BC as the birth date. Dont understand the explanation though..
