3 men stay in a hotel.
The Hotel manager charges them $15.
The three men pay $5 each.
The hotel manager later realizes the room is actually $10, so he calls the bellboy and hand him $5 to return to the gentlemen in their room.
The men decide they cant split $5 easily, so take a dollar each and tip the bellboy $2.
------
So they initially paid $15.
------
But they eventually paid $12 ($4 x 3)
The bellboy kept $2
$12+$2 = $14
-----
Where did the missing $1 go?
Fuck off, come here to relax.
Jeez youre dumb
>$12+$2 = $14
What the fuck are you doing retard?
$12 already contains the $2, why are you adding it again?
There is no extra dollar retard the extra $3 split among them.
they paid $12 and the bellboy got $2 tho.
That's $14.
Where is the missing $1 from the $15?
Yep. I find the trick with these ... tricks ... is to stop when you see the "explanation", do the math yourself, then read the bad math and the issue stands out right away.
The good ones are the ones where even when you do the math, you screw up the same thing and the bad explanation just confirms it and then you want to scream.
Dude no they fucking paid $10 and gave $2 to the bellboy.
Are you actually this dumb or just pretending
The men decide they cant split $5 easily, so take a dollar each and tip the bellboy $2.
Huh? There was 3 people before.
The manager holds 10 dollars
They pay three more, and 2 to the bellboy.
They payed 13 to the manager and 2 to the bellboy.
hotel - $10
bellboy - $2
3 men - $3
this is retarded
the 2 that the bellboy got is already included in the $12 that they paid kys
???? There are still 3 people. What the fuck $2 + $3 = $5.
Jesus christ glad to know this is how I make money, continue to trade Jow Forums
but from the $15.
now they paid $4 each ($5 - $1 back each) and then they still tipped the bellboy $2.
That's $14.
Where did the remaining dollar go from the $15?
they paid 10$ for the room, so 3,33 each.
each one got 1 back, so they have 4,33 each.
2 for the bell boy. so its 3x 4,33 =12,99 ~13 $ +2 =15
They did not pay $4 each. They paid $5 each.
The manager gave back $5.
From that $5, $2 went to the bellboy.
What is wrong with you.
They each ended up paying $4
So $12 total.
AND THEY ALSO LET THE BELLBOY KEEP $2 AS A TIP EXTRA ON TOP OF THE $12 THEY PAID!
SO $14
WHERE IS THE MISSING DOLLAR?
they paid 15
get 5 back
keep 3 give 2 (15-3-2)
=15-3=12
12/3= 4
4+4+4-2=10
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
They also did not tip the bellboy $2 EACH. Each tipped him $2/3.
someone jewed the others.
my fucking sides
They paid $5 each but got $1 back so total they paid $4 each and then they tipped the bellboy $2.
$12+$2
THEY PAID FUCKING $15, GOT $5 BACK, AND GAVE $2 TO THE BELLBOY AND THEY EACH KEPT AN EXTRA $1
$15-5+2+3 GO BACK TO FUCKING ELEMENATRY SCHOOL YOU COCKSNIFFER
you are fucked, wormhole detacted.
15$ initial ( 5$ x 3 ) = 15
-5$ payback ( 5$ x 3 - 5$ ) = 10$
currently everyone paied 3,333$ ( (5$ x 3 - 5$) / 3)
bc they are retards they tip the bellboy 2$ ( 0.6667$ each): ( ((5$ x 3 - 5$) / 3 ) + ( 0.6667$ x 3) ) = 12$ == 4$ ( each )
15$ (initial) - ( ((5$ x 3 - 5$) / 3 ) + ( 0.6667$ x 3) ) = 3$ leftover ( saved )
nigga are you joking?
they paid 10, split 3 and gave two
10+3+2
if you want to split, you split 13 not 12
12 is 15-3
10 is 15-3-2
There's a pretty good variation of this thing out there that can actually fuck with your head for a while before you can figure it out, but this shit is just stupid and obvious.
Works much better in verbal format since people can miss the number "3" very easily in "so take a dollar each".
dear fucking retards,
the mistake you are making is as follows:
You substract the 1 dollar from the 5 they paid initially to end up with 4 dollar per person. 4*3=12 +2 dollar tip = 14.
This obviously is fucking retarded and wrong.
They paid 15
5 back
15-5=10
1 dollar to each and 2 to the bellboy. Making it not 4 dollar pp but 4.66666666 dollar (as they still lost out on 12 dollars total including the tip)
To anyone that did not figure this out on his own: please do yourself a favour and do not try to outsmart anyone. Even though this might be difficult to accept you are not amongst the smartest on the planet.
Sincerely,
X.X.
but it was $15
Then they payed $12 plus the bellboys tip was $2.
Where did the fucking dollar go, it cant have just dissapeared.
There were $15 and now its $14.
Where did the fucking dollar go WHAT THE FUCK
Obviously he paid them in crypto and the missing $1 was spent in gas fees.
dude. they did not play 4$ each but 4,334
Here's a real riddle you autistic faggot:
You go to the store to buy a bottle of wine.
The bottle of wine costs $10
You live in libertarian utopia so no taxes THIS IS NOT A TRICK QUESTION.
Clerk tells you, "Funny thing about that bottle of wine, the wine inside the bottle cost exactly $9.00 more than the empty bottle itself..."
How much does the empty bottle cost?
Man 1: $4
Man 2: $4
Man 3: $4
BellBoy: $2
Thats: $14.
It doesnt work
50c
yeah i'm a brainlet and still caught that one wtf lol
Wine: $9.50.
Bottle: $0.50.
Now, can we get back to the fucking missing dollar please, it's important.
fuuuck i forgot to pic related this sumbitch
if you post an image while saging, it still bumps the thread
This is bait, right? Why is everyone replying seriously?
imagine getting baited this easily
>charge $1410
>whoops it only costs $10
>bellhop returns $1400
>each man keeps $400 and gives bellhop $200
>400x3=1200 + 200 = 1400
>where did the extra $10 go?
Each man actually paid $4.33.
The $10 was for the room cost, I said this in my first post you fucking brainlet.
The Jews took a dollar I KNEW IT
>Doesn't know how to do basic arithmetic
>Thinks this is a "math challenge"
cmon man I even went all out with the retarded 4.666 meme and you still ruin it. this was the chance to rid ourselves of so many plebbitors
NO!
$5-$1 = $4 not $4.33.
What the fuck?
I have an amazing ICO id like to tell you about privately. Can you give me a temp email addr
>inb4 trying to sell cnvt to him because he seems retarded enough to fall for it
Every one of you fell for the fucking bait, which is exactly why this board is full of Pajeet scammers pushing shitcoins like LINK HOLO and NEVA.
Which I bet you fucking brainlets hold.
Fucking summerfags, lurk more... This is why we can't have nice things on Jow Forums

t. oldfag /b/tard from 2008.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I ACTUALLY SPEND TIME ON THIS BOARD
Most people fuck it up and say $1.00. I guess it's easier to fool people in person.
Second riddle.
Jack and Jill are on their way to the bar and stop to smoke some weed. Jack has .3 grams and Jill has half a gram. Some drunk fuck is walking back from the bar and asks them if he can buy a tiny sack off them before he gets home to his bitch of a girlfriend. They say sure why not, they planned on burning it all down before they got to the bar anyway and would rather have a couple more bucks for some cheap beer. They pool the weed together and divide it up into 3 equal parts. Drunk stranger says thanks for the hookup and hands them 8 bucks, a $5 bill and 3 $1s. On the way to the bar Jack says yo bitch lemme get that $3. Jill says no faggot you only get $2.50 we'll get some change when we get there. They get to the bar and ask the bartender to make change so they can split it up fairly. Bartender lolz and says, "fuck your change we don't even use quarters here except for the pool tables, and you don't even need change you mental retards..."
How do they split up the $8 fairly?
2008 is oldfag now? fuck outta here fuckboy, go back to watching the trap threads on b
TRUE ANSWER HERE:
each gentlemen get back $1 from their initial payment (15-3 = 12)
The 3 gentlemen paid $12 (4x3),
but the room cost is only $10,
so bellboy tips is $2 (12-10)
reply to thanks me, if this finally made your head cleared.
This is probably a troll, but you're just mathing in a wrong way mate:
Manager has $10
Bellboy has $2
Each man has $1
Each man paid $4 - 3.33333333(4) to the bossman and 0.66666666(7) to the bellboy. That makes ~12. The $2 that the bellboy got are part of the $12 total.
Each man has 1 left and all izz well with the world
jack gets the 3$
NO
kek, so jill wants to charge jack for the weed they smoke together, too? should have mentioned that. scuffed ass riddle
Tell us then you nigger
Imagine debating over 5 dollars. Fucking poor fags.
they have 24$ of weed. jack contributed 9$, jill 15$. then they smoke 16$ worth of weed, 8$ each.
so of the 8$, jack gets 1$ and jill 7$
Fucking made me work it out too...
op asks a question
user explains the question
>OH OH YOU GOT BAITED FAGS LOL!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yes user.
It's a tough one. The original uses bread loaves and is a little easier to conceptualize. Written by Raymond Smullyan some autist logician.
no you fucking dumbass
they EACH payed $2 to the bellboy because he had good service
started with $15 got back five and they added 6
15 - 5 + (2*3)
10 + 6 = 16
they obviously had a few more dollars in their pockets
extra dollar went to the bellboy
So 1/3 of the weed equals $8. So they can smoke a 1/3, then one can keep the money and the other can keep the pot.
If they smoked it all like they originally planned, then idfk
pools closed DUE TO AIDS you newfag.
