Learn silence as you have learned speech.
Speech will guide you, and silence will protect you.
There were 3 men who went to an Inn. The man who was sitting at the desk told them that a room is $30, which meant at the end each man decided to pay $10 each for the one room. After a while, the man sitting at the desk remembered that he had made a mistake. The Room should not have been $30 but rather $25. So he quickly called one of his workers, and told him to repay the $5 to the three men. The worker didn’t know how to divide the $5 between the three men, and he was one who lacked basic math skills. So he (the worker) went to the three men and gave them each $1, in other words he lied to them. So the worker kept $2 to himself. Which means that at the end each man paid $9 for the room, which totaled 27, and the worker kept $2.
27+2 is 29. However the original money was $ 30, so we are missing one dollar. Where did it go?
70:28 Lo! the doom of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure
There are ma ny ways of explaining/thinking bout this truly brain bending riddle! It all boils down to the fact that the lawyers's math is incorrect. They did NOT spend $9 • 3 + $2.
They spent exactly $27 dollars. $25 for the room and $2 for the tip. Remember they got exactly $3, in total back.
Another way to think about the answer to this riddle is to just pretend that the bellhop refunded $3 to the lawyers (rather than giving them $5 and recieving $2 back). If the lawyers get $3 back and each takes $1. They they spent exactly $27 dollars.
LOL

Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.
Yeah, I think that one was a slightly easy, maybe I'll make up a 'riddle' soon, insha'Allah.

OK, here's my riddle I made up. I think it may be impossible to work out (not being arrogant) but have a try, trial and improvement may solve it:
0.5 + A = B
√B + C = 10
C x ³√D = 10 + 4

Anyone going to bother? Lol.

1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
The bits highlighted in red indicate that the square root of B is a whole number, and the square root of numbers are usually not whole, which limits the guesses.
