I was thinking it might be fun to try out everyone's favorite brain teaser, logic puzzles, and riddles.
I'll start, with this math riddle.
3 traveling business men go into a hotel and ask for a room. The desk manager tells them that there is only one room left and it will cost $30. They split the cost and each pay $10 and go to the room. The desk manager then realizes the room was only $25, so he gives $5 to the bellhop and tells him to return it to the 3 men. Halfway there the bellhop decides to pocket $2 and return $1 to each of the 3 men. The 3 men end up paying $9 each. $9 times 3 is $27 and the bellhop has $2. $27 plus $2 is $29. What happened to the extra $1?
I've heard this one a couple of times.Originally Posted by JayBlaze
There is no extra one dollar, everything adds up. 25 (price) + 3 (refund) + 2 (bellboy) = 30.
Basically, the riddle is tricking us into believing that 27 + 2 accounts for all the money that is being moved around. But what is 27? 27 is 25 + 2, which is the price of the room + the tip the bellboy kept. So there is no reason to add 2 dollars to that 27...
What question can you never say yes to?

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?
hmmm... the fifth, sixth, and the seventh of December!

Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow (awesome movie by the way!)
Your 2nd answer was close to the answer I was looking for. The answer I wanted was, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
