They leave their bags at the desk so the bag boy can take them up and the three of them go up to their room. just before the bag boy takes their bags up the lady at the desk realises the room only cost $25 so she gives the bag boy $5 to take to the three guys. the bag boy is a bit cheap and greedy so he keeps $2 of the $5 he was supposed to give to the guys, then to make it even between them he gives them back $1 each because there are three of them and $3 left. so all in all they each payed $10 and each got $1 back so they payed $9. there are three of them and $9x3=$27 plus the $2 the bagboy has eaquals $29
... so wheres the other dollar??

enjoy - gren

Ok ok, I think I have it! is it...? [We shouldn't be trying to add the $2 to get it to $30, we should be taking it off to get it to $25. The $9 is when you are adding up to get to $25, so $9 x 3 = $27, MINUS the $2 that the guys were supposed to recieve but the bag boy kept. Then, you add the $3 that were given back to the guys and the $2 the bagboy kept and voila, you have $30.

A cowboy rides into town on Tuesday. He is tired, so he decides to stay at the town's hotel. He rides out of town on Sunday. He hasn't left town in the meantime or stayed anywhere else, but he only pays the hotel for two nights. How does he do it, without breaking the law?

[He rides in on Tuesday, spends two nights, and then leaves on Thursday. His horses name was Sunday. (Alternatively, he could have arrived on Friday, left on Sunday and his horses name was Tuesday.) Either that or he has two horses, Sunday and Tuesday]

here i got a few

you may ask yes or no questions for these.

police find a woman dead on her bed. she was killed and the murderer use a pair of siscors to do it. yet there was no blood or wounds, bruises, etc of any kind on the body. how did the killer kill her.

a pair of identical twins were drinking from poisoned drinks. both drinks contained the same deadly poison. yet only one twin died from the poison and the other did not. why?

joe lay dead on the floor. broken glass and water were all about him. how did he die?

A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, twelve The member replied, six and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, six. The member replied, three and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,ten and the man replied, five. But he was not let in. What should have he said?

here are some general riddles, this one is from the hobbit

golden treasure lies within me
i have no locks or lids or hinges.
what am i?

what happens once a minute.,
twice a moment, but never once in a million years.

you must keep it after you give it

you own this, yet everyone uses it.

what is the begining of eternity,
the end of time and space.
the begining of every end,
and the end of every race?

What happened in 1961 that will not happen again for over 4000 years?

this is a variation of a riddles someone posted eariler
what does a poor man have, a rich man wants and a common man strives for?
