Ok, I don't want this merging with other riddle topics as it's going to serve a purpose slightly different to the rest. It's going to be just the one riddle, see if you can figure it.
There are two men who go into a cafe. One orders a coffee, the other orders nothing. Five minutes later person one who ordered the coffee walks out with his change from a £50 note. 10 minutes later, person two walks out with the exact same change.
How did person two also walk out with the exact same change?
Just to make clear, person two had no money. Person one only had a £50 note.
I'd appreacite it if people could just post possible answers, and not whether they've heard/read/seen this riddle.
Someone wanted a clue. I think with the types of answers we're getting, a clue is needed.
The answer is a very logical one. If the answer is played out in real life, it will actually happen. Now think, what are the odds that your answer can actually happen? Finding the exact same amount on the floor? Sticking up the cafe? Dropping the change?
I'll leave you guys to it.
Ok, so this is going to be very difficult. But who ever gets it, I shall hand a tenner over to them. No joke, a tenner to the one who gets it right.

Got a question, or got something in general to say or ask me, drop me a line. Peace out!
As person 1 was getting there money they got more from the guy at the till, so he gave him 50 quid plus his change. Person 1 gave person 2 the 50 quid and left and thus person 2 ordered and paid. Hmm….tricky indeed.
Person 2 is waiter in the café ..person 1 gave order for the coffee that would cost him 30 pound for example ……. p1 get back 20 pound change ….p1 gave 10 pound to the p2 in tip and another 10 pound he keep for himself..
Maybe Person 2's a regular in the shop and was owed money by the waiter or something.
Person 1 orders coffee, gets change, and gives btip of say £25 leaving himself with £20, and Person 2 who is owed the money from the waiter gets the moeny
Or Person 2 is the waiter, and Person 1 gives him a tip of half what he had because they are friends or something, or he owes him himself
Or the only other answer i can think of is Person 1 buys more than just a coffee, he buys other food as well, and ends up with £2 change in the end, tips the waiter £1 and so they end up with £1 each

The 2 guys get into a fight. The first beats up the second guy until he knocks him out. The second guy is on the floor bleeding from the mouth. The first guy then takes his 50 dollar bill, asks for change then takes a 5 dollar bill along with a 20, throws them on the guys face and says "wipe yourself, you're bleeding". The tender too scared to ask for money, lets the man walk out without paying. Now they both have $25 each.
Woho I solved it.
How did you guys not see this scenario. Come on now...It was a piece of cake !! kay:
lol my imagination is going wild again.... help! :brother:
1. The first person orders coffee worth lets say 4 quid. He sees his creditor person 2. So Person 1 pays person 2, twenty three pounds and goes out with the same amount. (Why he gave £23, I dont know). Ten minutes letter p2 comes out.
or
2. P1 gets change and gives half to the beggar P2
or
3.P1 come sout with £46 as change and then gives P1 the same amount through a window.
