    I wonder who can solve this
    Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

    the clerk still has it -_-, each room costed $8.33. So just add them up 8.33x3 = 25 + 2(stolen) + 3 (1 dollar back to each guys)= 30

    Anyway listen what happen the next day...
    2 friends arrived in the same motel and ask for a room. The clerk who suspected something wrong happened the previous day thought he repeat the proccess to have a better view so he asked the friends to pay $30. When they went to the rooms the clerk send the bellhop to return the overcharge $5. The tricky Bellhop kept $3 this time.He return $1 to each friend so they paid $28 and $3 the Bellhop got 31...
    So 29 the first day and 31 the second makes a total of $60!!! And that s 2 times 30!

    3*10€=30€
    they only had to pay 25/3 € = 8.333€
    in the end they payed 9 € each and with that they payed the 2 € (3*0.66€=2€) for the waitress too.

    so 3*9€=27€
    27 € - 2€ =25 € as they accually had to pay. the waitress takes the 2 € away.

    Some important informations are missing. Are they paying 30 € each. Or 30 € together (means only 15 € each)
    Some Conclusion are wrong or meant to be wrong. if each gets back they pay 29 € (or 14 € ).
    Now they pay 29€ (14 €) each means 58 € (28 €) all together and the waitress takes away 3 € so u are at 55 € (25 €) - the price they actually had to pay .

    Tell me if i still missunderstood you.

    Ok here r 2 mysterys

    Prison Break

    Two friends were in prison 1 was a guard the other a prisoner.They planed the prissoner's escape the night that a death sentence was about to commence...The prisoner entered the coffin with a fake buttom and waited...All he had to do was to keep his mouth shut and stay still because the slightest movement could reveal him...When he was burried his guard friend would come and let him out. But when he was 6 feet under and the burrial had started...He screamed "No don t burry me alive" he was find out and return to prison. Now why the prisoner blow his plan?.

    There was an accident during the execution, and the high voltage hit the prisoner's friend.So lateron when the prisoner found out that his friend couldn t dig im up anymore for he was burried with him...he choose imprisoment to an agoising death

    No Colonel Mustard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluedo#Suspects



    Murder or accident in the desert

    One day in a desert a group of men followed some very curious trails...At first they saw some sacks filled with sand scattered in a straight line...After some distance they found luggages and clothes both man and womans' after that some supplies of food and water then a few more clothes and finally the corpse of a naked woman...sh was holding a small piece of straw....How did the woman die? I forgot to mention that no footprints tracks camel or horses prints were found

    The line up in a straight line of the fidings indicates that there was o sandstorm to cover the trails of the travelers.The woman couldn t die of thirst and hanger because of the thrown supplies...But how on earth did she get there in the first place? Or should I say how on air???!!! She along with others was travelling in a hot air balloon...They started loosing altitude so they released the sandbangs and threw their stuff...but it wasn t enough...Facing almost certain death the passengers of the balloon draw the straw. He with the shortest straw will have to give his life so the others would live....
