A basket contains 5 apples. Do you know how to divide them among 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket?

[Graham]

easy, give 4 kids an apple and one kid a basket with one apple

[Blakey]

well done now put another one up

[Graham]

okay heres one...


three people have lunch at a restraunt and the bill comes to $30 (cheap lunch right? but back on topic ).

Each of the men agree to split the bill fairly so it's $10 each.

The waitress later realises she made a mistake and the meal cost $25 not $30.

She returns with $5 for the men but is unsure how to split it, so she gives each man $1 and they agree to leave her a $2 tip.

Each of the men have now paid $9 as they were refunded $1 each and the waitress has $2..

9 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 29...

Where is the extra dollar?

[Blakey]

I know the answer but im not gonna answer it. ill let someone else figure it out, iv heard it before.

[Graham]

they originally gave $10 each to water

10 + 10 + 10 = 30

they each got $1 change from the waiter

10 - 1 = 9 (three times)

waiter has $2 tip

9 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 29

the dollar is still missing

[Blakey]

..

[tommo08]

the dollar isnt missing its the way its worded.....
the 3 men paid a total of 27$ for a 25$ meal
30 - 5 = 25
9x3=27

(10-1)=9 x (3) = 27 (- $2 to waiter) = 25

not 27+2=29

[ofey]

There is no extra dollar! This is a play on words!

Think about it this way
Restaurant takes = $25 ($30 - $5refund)
Men got $1 each = $3
Waiter got = $2
Total = $30

[Blakey]

It has been solved Tommo08, your turn to post a new one. he just beat you ofey. 3min

[tommo08]

ok how about this one


There are 3 switches downstairs, each corresponding to one of the light bulbs upstairs. How can you figure out which light switch goes to which light bulb by only making 1 trip upstairs?

[Blakey]

Turn switch 1 on for 5-10min then turn off,

Turn switch 2 on, and go up stairs

Light 1 will be off and warm
Light 2 will be on

and light 3 corresponding to switch 3 will be off and cold
