GOOGLING is cheating, right? :worried:

Right....But left always takes the easy way

Well since no one wants to start the next round..



If Hercules' tall stature might be guess'd
But by his thumb, the index of the rest,
In due proportion, what is the best rule that I
Would choose, to measure Venus' beauty by?

$55 for the room and the $2 the bellman has equals the $57 that the ladies spent (3 X $19 = $57). The other $3 is their change from the $60.

 

[Buster]

How about he gave one $ to each of the three ladies which makes $3. He kept two which adds up to $5, right??

..Well Grandma..you nailed it..that is the way this riddle is explained..Frixx's way explained it also, but not with actually where the money went....Very good.


Now it's your turn to dazzle us with a mind twister...

Three young ladies check into a motel on Spring break.
Each pays the clerk $20 for a total of $60 for the room.
A few hours later, the clerk realizes the room was only supposed to be $55 with the discount and gives the bellman $5 to give back to the young ladies. The bellman couldn't figured how to split the $5 between the three ladies, so he gave them back each a $1 bill. Each young lady now has a total of $19 each invested in the room. Three ladies X $19 each = $57 and the bellman has $2 for a total of $59. Where did the other $1 bill go?

This is a divide by zero problem.
When you try and say the ladies only paid $57 it is from the ladies perspective.
The bellman had 5 and gave away three dollars it is his perspective.

These two statements cannot be joined as they have no relationship.

It would be like trying to prove a circle has a specific area by proving a triangle is obtuse.

A lttle boy in class was asked a question..If you had three birds perched on a phone wire in the country and one flys away, how may do you have left?..The little boy said "none"..Teacher said that was incorrect, but asked how he came by his answer; The little boy replied; "I live in the country, and when one bird fly's, they all fly"...Teacher said that still incorrect, but I like the way you think.

Next day; the Little boy still miffed as to why his answer was incorrect, decided to ask the teacher a question..."Hey Teach..If you had three ladies sitting on a park bench and they were all eating an ICE CREAM CONE...and one was Licking the cone, one was Chomping on the cone and the other one was Sucking slowly on the cone..Which one was Married?"..At first the teacher declined be roped into this question knowing there is gonna be a embarrassing answer..but decided to go a long..Well..After careful thought she finally answered with.."I'd say it would be the one Sucking on the cone"

The little boy proudly and matter of factly said "WRONG!!!"..It's the one with the Wedding ring on, But I like the way you think!
