Whats goes up a chimmney down but not down a chimmney up Or what gets wetter the more it dries Or my favourite from when I was a kid 3 women go to a shop to buy a TV the only one they can afford is £30 so they all chip in £10 each Just as they are leaving the manager comes back and tells the assisitant that the TV was only £25 The assistant thinks quickly and decides to make a quick profit realising that he can give them all 1 pound back and keep 2 pound he does exactly this. So the question is this..... if he gives them all one pound back which means that they all paid £9 each and he kept £2 wheres the missing pound £3 x £9 =27 +£2 =£29...?? I never could work this one out Regards
To which one Nodsu,??? The first 2 are easy , i'm wondering if anyone can supply the mathematical formula that answers the 3rd..... Could it be you Nodsu,,,??
The tv was £30 pounds which the women originally paid. Having realised the tv should`ve been £25 pounds the assistant refunds the women £3 which means the women have paid £27 pounds for a £25 pound tv. In other words they have paid £2 pounds too much and that`s why the assistant as pocketed the £2 pounds. He obviously didn`t actually tell the women it was only £25 pounds. 30-5=25+3=28+2=30. The trick is remembering the women paid £2 pounds too much. As the actual price paid for the tv was £27 pounds and not £25 pounds. Regards Howard
Something Slightly more confusing... Within, I have eyes and see, I can't drink, but still have tea, it's in me, though E I've never done, I don't have ours, no... just one. Backwards, I see right on cue, don't have me, I do have you, I've said all that's in me, Tell me, what is it I be? The word 'Critique' two I's, a T, E, only one R, backwards, C is right of Q, U i must confess that 1 is way to clever for me, i got sent it and didnt understand the riddle letalone the answer
