a fun exercise for the brain :)
Published 1 year, 10 months ago in My life.Here is a brain exercise
Three guys walk into a hotel, and they’re going to split the cost of a room. The room is $30. They each kick in $10 and head up to their room. The manager gets wind of it and tells the clerk the room is only $25. He hands five $1 bills to the bell hop and tells him to go refund the guys’ money. On the way up to the room, the bell hop gets to thinking, as bell hops are wont to do, and says to himself, “No way can three guys split $5, I’m going to help out.” He stuffs $2 in his pocket, knocks on the door, gives each guy back a buck and heads back downstairs to the desk, glowing in the warmth of a job well done. So now each guy has paid $9. $9 times 3 is $27 plus the two the bell hop stole–only $29! Where is the other buck?

they paid 25 for the hotel roomplus$2 for the tip =$27, and then got 1 back each to make the original $30.
the riddle is in the faulty add up at the end…
good one..
You drive a bus 3km east to a catholic school,
4 km north to an anglican school,
3km west to a Muslim school,
5km southeast to a Jewish school,
4km south to a Hindu school,
then 5km northwest to the board of education.
Got it ?
What colour are the bus drivers socks ?
Of course this works best when spoken, not written.
This bus drivers socks are white with pink stars
The bus driver is an athiest and wears thongs because he can’t tie up shoe laces.
