Riddles!

Riddles!
Hi! :D I love working on riddles, so I'd like to share with you some of them. As always, this is the set of rules for this activity: 1) No new riddles will be posted until the previous one is declared completely answered. 2) You can try different questions to solve it. Whenever you have a possible answer, post it! :!: Soon, we'll tell you if it's right or wrong. 3) The teacher also participates! :mrgreen: OK. This is my first riddle. I like it and I get to understand it just some time ago: Three men go into a hotel. The manager tells them there is only one room available and is willing to rent the room for 30$. The three men agree and each pay the manager 10$. That's fact! :wink: After some time the manager decides he has charged the men too much for the room. He calls the bellboy and says: "Go and give this 5$ back to the three men." That's fact! :wink: The bellboy is on his way as he realizes and says: "Hey! These three men can't split the 5$ equally", so he decides to keep 2$ for himself and gives each of the men 1$ back. Now each of the three men have paid 9$ for the room. That makes 27$ in total. The bellboy kept 2$ for himself. That makes 29$ in total. But there was 30$ originally. $27 + $2 = $29!!!Where is the missing 1$? :roll: See ya!

Oops! So the bellboy stole more money than it appears, right? :? :P

Answer
Nop. Wrong. :wink: Keep on trying! :D

Please read the formula again... You'll see it's possible! :wink:

I got it, my Honey! :joy: The original formula in the text is wrong. It's not true that every guy gave 9 dollars. Instead, you should add $3 that they received to the $25 of the cost of the pizza, plus the $2 of the self-tip, and c'est tout! 25 + 3 + 2 = $30!!! :fest:

Hi Honey...:D The correct formula for Riddles is 25+3+2.......Why? the three men did not pay 27$, the paid 28$ because when they arrived to the hotel paid $30 but then the manager gave 5$ back them -> (now they paid 25$)..... but actually was 3$ becuse the bellboy kept 2$ for himself. It was very easy......Bye, bye. Ginna... :wink:

:clap: Well done!!! :fest: Indeed, it's an easy riddle with a wrong posed problem... :dumb: :wink: Very good!!!

New Riddle
Next riddle to have fun: A cowboy rode to an inn on Friday stayed two nights and left on Friday. How could that be? :help:

Because he only stayed 2 nights there?

:yes: The answer is.... Nop! That's not the answer. :mrgreen: Read the sentence carefully. :-) :wink: You'll see how easy it is! :tongue:

Let me see... :eek: Is Friday the name of the horse?

You got it, my friend!!! :fest: :yes: Well done, vC!!!!!!!!!!!! :joy:
