CRAZY RIDDLE!!.........Missyterious girl**~

This riddle will really mess with you.

It will take a lot of thought to solve it.

The Thompson triplets were sitting around watching television.

The reception was so bad that they decided

to throw away their TV and go buy a new one.

They checked their wallets and found that they only had $10 each.

So they took their $30 to a second hand store.

They met a salesman who told them he had a TV for sale for $30.

So they gave him $30 and took the TV.

However, when the salesman went in the back of the store

he realized that the price was supposed to be $25.

So he ran back outside to give them their $5 back.

But when he realized they had each paid $10

he didn't want to make it confusing so he only gave them $1 back each

and he kept the other two dollars for himself.



OK, let's recap. They paid $10 each which is $30 total.

The salesman gave them back $1 each and he kept $2 for himself.

So they actually spent $10 each minus $1 each.

Which means they spent $9 each.

9 X 3 = $27,

The salesman kept $2.

That's a total of $29.

Where's the other dollar?

Date: 8/24/2002 11:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 27554    no... ur going about it in the wrong way. They each spent aproximately $8.33... (25/3). They only spent $25... not $27. He took two dollars. He gave them back 3 dollars. 25+3+2=30 I feel all smart and stuff

Date: 8/24/2002 11:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 27554    kay... each of them spent 8.33. he gave them all a dollar back... so that's 9.33. 9.33x3 is about $28. so he kept the 2 dollars... seems right. :) now i can finally stop thinking about it. good riddle :)

Date: 8/26/2002 7:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 58078    The TV was actually 25 plus the 3 that he gave back is 28 plus 2 that he kept is 30. =) *IP*  
Date: 8/27/2002 2:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 55903    If you look at it another way, 30 minus the 3 return is 27 plus the 2 he kept is still only 29! - ladyladonna
