i guess he knew math and he made a simultaneous equation! :ROFLMAO: SO:
Men=50
Horses=24

We could say that each horse had a rider and a care taker AND there were 2 people who had no horse or something =/

Riddle No.7:
A farmer is trying to cross a river. He is taking with him a rabbit, carrots and a fox, and he has a small raft. He can only bring 1 item a time across the river because his raft can only fit either the rabbit, the carrots or the fox. How does he cross the river. (You can assume that the fox does not eat the rabbit if the man is present, you can also assume that the fox and the rabbit are not trying to escape and run away and the rabbit does not eat the carrots if the man is present.

Riddle No.8:
Three guys rent a hotel room for the night. When they get to the hotel they pay the $30 fee, then go up to their room. Soon the bellhop brings up their bags and gives the lawyers back $5 because the hotel was having a special discount that weekend. So the three lawyers decide to each keep one of the $5 dollars and to give the bellhop a $2 tip. However, when they sat down to tally up their expenses for the weekend the could not explain the following details:
Each one of them had originally paid $10 (towards the initial $30), then each got back $1 which meant that they each paid $9. Then they gave the bellhop a $2 tip. HOWEVER, 3 • $9 + $2 = $29
The guys couldn't figure out what happened to the other dollar. After all, the three paid out $30 but could only account for $29.
Can you determine what happened?

Yup :p
they were just to stupid to understand that they were just wasting their time! :D

They paid:
3 * 9 = 27

Hotel received:
Manager: (10 * 3) -5 =25
Bellhop: 2 (as a tip)
25 + 2 =27

They paid 27 and the hotel received 27...Nothing is missing so the lawyers need to get A life! :p :D
