The impossible question to answer

[olds48]

I heard this riddle years ago(like 15 or so) and have not known anyone to answer it yet.I really hope someone does.

Three guys are on a hunting trip together.They stop in a motel to get a room.

The clerk says that the room will be $30

Each man pays $10 apiece for a total of $30.

The manager sees the camoflagued men going down the hall and asks the clerk how much he charged them.The clerk tells him $30,and the manager reminds him of the hunting special.It's supposed to be $25.

So the clerk is ordered to give the refund.But he can't figure out how to split $5 three ways evenly.Out of fear of causing a fight between the friends he decides to give each one of the $1 each and pocket the extra $2.

So he goes to their room,Explains the "10%" discount and how he owes them $3 and hands each of them a dollar.
OKAY So,if each man paid $10 apiece,and then recieved $1 as a refund,then they will have each spent $9 apiece.

Three men at $9 apiece equals $27

Add the $2 that the clerk pocketed and you have a grand total of $29.

What happened to the other dollar? :?

Its all in the wording, its trickery... The $27 minus the $2 equals the $25 to rent the room, then the $3 gave back to the men = $30 again!

The riddle sets you up to ad the $27 and $2 together and you need to subtract it...

Do I win???

[olds48]

:shock: 25+3=30???

[I972Nova]

The $27 minus the $2 equals the $25 to rent the room, then the $3 gave back to the men = $30 again!

should be: The $27 minus the $ 2 equals the $25 to rent the room, So you add the $25 (rent) + $2 (manager) + $3 (paid to men) = $30 total..

[olds48]

You can't subtract the $2 and then add it back.Can you ?I done got confused now :oops:

[slowmotion]

clerk $2
Man $1
Man $1
Man $1
Manager $25

Total $30

[bbc28racing]

to split 5.00 is 2.00 for mng. and 1.33 and part of a penny so the 33cents left over[plus part of penny] from each dollar 3 times plus mng. 2 dollars would add the extra dollar.right?

[lively]

clerk $2
Man $1
Man $1
Man $1
Manager $25

Total $30

THAT IS HOW IT IS DONE!!!!

PS---ERIC YOU ARE CONFUSED ALOT :roll: :roll: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: --ONLY KIDDING[ NOT REALLY!!!] LIVELY

[olds48]

Ok guys,I think we missed the point.Yes you CAN make the math work just fine.The thing is why does it come up a dollar short if you do 9x3+2?

[Xrated1]

All I want to know is where the hell do you find a hotel room for $30.00??

[insane4fbodys]

Because 9 X 3 = 27, 27 + 2= 29 But we are starting from 25 not 24. It'sall in the wording. Just like the question, I have 2 us coins in my hand that total 30 cents. But 1 of them is not a quarter, what are they? A quarter and a nickel. 1 isn't a quarter, but the other 1 is. Not slight of hand just slight of word. :lol:

If a barn has a peak running east to west, the wind is blowing out of the north, and a rooster lays an egg exactly on the peak, Which way will it roll?

Roosters don't lay eggs, hens do.

But if a hen layed the egg, it would roll south off the roof.

Your good, how about how many of each animal did moses take on the ark?

Moses was the guy with the stone tablets, Noah was the guy with the ark.

What did the fish say when he bumped his head???

[gearhead1011]

What did the fish say when he bumped his head???

I 1st heard that about 8 or 9 years ago when my boy came home from the 2nd grade and asked "what did the fish say when he swam into the concrete wall?". I said I don't know, then he told me dam (or damn, depends on how you look at it). I had to chuckle and turned to my wife and asked her "is he in trouble for that?"

[Scooterz]

Thought I would jump in here... my questions is, how many pubic hairs are actually conected to the rectal cavity & does that change the way they curl? If they don't curl, is it beacuse they grow in a different area?? why do they call them pubic? Now for the kicker... are you ready.... how much stencil strength does an individual pubic hair have when it grows from the rectal region???? Last, when a pubic hair is "pulled" & not cut, will it still be curly? I am so lost.... I have been trying to figure these things out for so long. Anyways, I guess if I ever get my QF 950 tuned right, I will at least have figured out one riddle...lol

[slowmotion]

Let me ask my wife. She usually has her head up her butt.
