One of the monkeys in "Rise of the planet of the apes?"

Hah hah, no. Forget it

The classic.

3 guys on a journey decide to spend the rest of the night in a hotel nearby. For the night stay, the hotel manager charges them $300. The three guys pay $100 each. Later on, the hotel manager realizes he made a mistake and that the bill totalled to $250. He asked a worker to give the $50 back. The greedy worker pocketed $20 and gave each of the three guys $10.

Since the guys originally paid $100 each and now get $10 back, they paid $270 in total. The worker had $20. Where is the remaining $10?

Since the guys originally paid $100 each and now get $10 each back, they paid $280 in total, right?

What kind of maths is that?

100-10 = 90
90x3 = 270.

There are two ways you can look at this riddle

There are two ways you can look at this riddle

And they are?

 

[Phoenix Blood]

And they are?

From $50, the worker pockets $20, so gives back $30 back to the 3 guys.
So, they've shelled $300 minus $20.

= $280

Well, well, well, whatever. Idk.

He gives $30 back, so why are you subtracting $2o from $300??

And they are?

Well the 3 guys already had it.
Considering $250 (acutal price), they each should have paid $83.333, but they paid $90.
So practically they already had the $10

You got it. Altogether they paid $250 (i.e. 83 1/3 each). Then each had another $10 which took it to $280 total and the remaining $20 is with the clerk.

The $10 is nowhere, you just are calculating it wrong.

 

[MarcoReus]

For those who don't get it, the three guys paid $270 in total and got $30 back in total. The worker's $20 comes in that $270, you don't add it again.

So if you remove the worker's $20 from the $270. It leaves $250 which goes to the hotel, the $20 to the worker and the $30 to the 3 guys.

A truck fully loaded with apples and mangoes is going washington from new york. The truck is in its full speed. There comes a speedbreaker. And what will fell down

 

[Phoenix Blood]

Why should anything fall down?

 

[Mahad Imran Gujjar]

Why should anything fall down?

see again now

 

[Phoenix Blood]

Again, why should anything be falling?

 

[MarcoReus]

I don't think speedbreakers exist in USA. Especially not in motorways.

 

[Phoenix Blood]

The question's - What'll fall down?

 

[MarcoReus]

I am just pointing a flaw. Speed breakers don't exist abroad coz people actually stop of all things on a stop sign.

 

[Phoenix Blood]

Speed-breakers are meant to slow down vehicles, not stop them -_-
