    Three guys go to a motel. The cost is $30. They each pay $10.

    Later on the innkeeper realizes that the room costs $25.

    He gives the bellhop $5 to give back.

    The bellhop gets greedy. He gives the three guys $1 back, and keeps the $2 for himself.

    9 times three is $27. The $2 the bellhop keeps equals $29.

    What happenes to the extra dollar?

    I would say that flawed logic is the culprit. I don't know where exactly, but I do know that 25+1+1+1+2=30.

    The men spent $30 dollars.

    They got $3 back, so really they only spent $27.

    They paid $25 for the room, and $2 to the bellhop.



    EDIT: The confusing part is people adding the bellhop's $2 instead of subtracting it.

    A riddle:
    A man wakes up in the morning, gets dressed, eats his breakfast, kisses his wife and goes to work.

    He comes back 6 hours later from work (he lives in an apartment) and notices that the lights in the lobby are out and when he pushes the elevator button, the light does not turn on.

    Because of this, he immediately knows that his wife is dead.

    How?

    The important thing is that the guys got singles back for the strip club.

    fine.

    A riddle:
    A lady comes down to breakfast and sees her husband eating Texas Ruby Red grapefruit and reading the newspaper. Upon seeing the headline of the newspaper "John Smith Dies Accidentally While on Vacation" she realizes that John Smith was actually murdered.

    She is in no way related to John Smith, nor did she murder him or conspire in his murder. She had no contact with him during his vacation. In fact, she has never spoken to John Smith

    How does she know he was murdered?

    A man needs to cross a river on a boat. With him, he has a wolf, a fox and a duck. The wolf can kill the fox and the duck, the fox can kill the duck and the duck cant do anything. The boat can only hold the man and 2 animals.

    You cant leave the animals alone without supervision since they can kill each other. How do you get them all accross safely? Also you cant leave any one animal alone. You dont have a cage or a box. You have a weak rope that the wolf and the fox can chew through.
