There are 3 men who agree to share the cost of a hotel room where they will be staying the night. They approach the hotel manager and ask him the price of the room, and he says $30; the men then will have to each spend 10 dollars each. They pay the fee and proceed to their room when the manager realizes he overcharged them 5 dollars.
He gives the 5 dollars to the clerk and tells him to return it to the 3 gentlemen. The clerk realizes that he cannot split the 5 dollars evenly, so he decides to pocket 2 dollars and give each of the men 1 dollar each (3 men times 1 dollar).
Here is the kicker: if each man paid 10 and received 1 dollar refund from the clerk then each man paid 9 dollars (10-1). That means 3 men times 9dollars=27 dollars , and the clerk pocketed a 2 dollars on the way....so the men and the clerk have 27+2=29! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MISSING DOLLAR?

nice stealing skills <3
30$ overall,
5$ overpaid = 25$ left,
2$in his pocket and 3x1$ for the men
[ 25 + 2 + 3*1 = 30 ]
IT ARE 30$ AND STAY 30$!!!
Nothing, because you did 27+2 instead of 27-2.
Is this supposed to be a puzzle or something? It doesn't even require logic, just reading comprehension.
edit: i failed coz I read it wrong, thought they accidentally payed 35 :/
now all fuck off replying to me, I just read it wrong :>
I just read it wrong
!!!BAN!!!
but I still think ur a fucktard for that comment, srsly it aint cool saying shit like that
(waiting for an emo-pic reply now)
btw I'm just being my usual tard self atm so don't take anything too serious :D
3*9 = 27$ and the clerk has 2$ in his pocket so its 25$ - 2$ = 25$, no missing money
or you can put it that way: the clerk gave them only 3$, the manager still has 25$ and the missing 2$ has the clerk
the end of the journal, you have to work with that and that's strange since he doesn't say anything wrong afaik
There was this Mexican guy, Black guy, and Asian guy all working for the same construction company. At the beginning of the day the boss calls a meeting with them about today’s work. They were all pretty new, so they had to be assigned jobs.
He says to the Mexican guy, "You’re in charge of the cement."
He says to the Black guy, "You’re in charge of the dirt."
He says to the Asian guy, "You’re in charge of the supplies."
After delegating out all the responsibilies he says, "I’m gonna be back at the end of the day to check on your work. It better be good or you’re all fired." The boss was quite serious and had a reputation for being shrewd. They immediately get to work.
At the end of the day, the boss comes back and checks on their work. He looks at the big pile of cement and says, "Nice work," to the Mexican guy. He looks at the big pile of dirt and says, "Nice work," to the Black guy. He looks around and can’t find the Asian guy anywhere so he asks, "Where the heck is that Asian guy?"
All of a sudden, the Asian jumps out from behind the big pile of dirt and yells, "SUPPLIES!"
5 too much -> 3 refund + 2 clerk
