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?
 
:D i already saw this one i'll let someone else have a turn :D

I don't even know the answer, i closed the page accidentally before checking the answer :-[ :blind:

That is the headache math gives me.... :raging:
 
We already Did This oNe :D

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
 
hmm i got a different answer... but yours is right too :D
 
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

Lol. OK I'll give you a slight hint.

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.
 
id u'd tell us what d equals to i'd get it ;D

i'm gona try again
