Okay, here's a strange riddle.

Three men walk into a hotel. The hotel clerk tells them that one room for them costs $30.00, so each man pays $10.00 for the room.

Later on that night, the clerk realizes that the room is actually $25.00, not $30.00, so he sends a bellboy up with $5.00 to the three men. When the bellboy arrives, he can't decide how to split $5.00 between the men, so he gives $1.00 to each of them and keeps the other $2.00 to himself.

If you're following me correctly, you should come up with something like this:

Each man paid $9.00 for the room, which equals $27.00 in total. The bellboy took $2.00 for himself, so if you add that up it equals $29.00.

Where did the other $1.00 go?

Lol I remember that from 7th grade. We actually did it with paper and the missing dollar ended up with the clerk. :P

[Cerani]

They still paid ten dollars each. Just because they got one back doesn't change that.

I refer to order of operations for this.

Either way, you kept the dollar, but I don't want to know where you put it.

Each man paid $9.00 for the room, which equals $27.00 in total. The bellboy took $2.00 for himself, so if you add that up it equals $29.00.

This sentence is wrong. They paid a total of 30 dollars, but they each got 1 dollar back so that's 27 dollars they've paid. However, the 2 dollars the bellboy took should not be added to the total amount rather subtracted, because the 27 dollars are what the three men ended up paying for the room. The clerk kept 25 dollars for the actual room and the bellboy took 2 dollars, added up to 27 dollars.

Clever girl.

Neat old riddle. I was never really fond of math challenges, as I suck at them, but I remember an old, rather easy one my father used to toss at me.

In a room there are four corners. In each corner, a cat. Each cat sees three cats. How many cats are there in the room?

Pretty obvious, but it's kinda nostalgic.

...Zeri needs to get on Steam again >3>

[Zerifachias]

Codswallop, I say!

Dear girl, I am in the midst of a brilliant adventure with the illustrious Tamora Pierce and her fabulous book series Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen! I admit that I have finished the first, but I am approximately 66% through the second!

I say, you must be patient, lass, and hold out a tiny bit longer. I promise to you that I will have completed my adventure by the morrow! /fakeenglishaccent

[Kurio]

Why is Zeri calling me a girl so much-
*looks at profile*
Oh...

[Creame]

Dear girl, I am in the midst of a brilliant adventure with the illustrious Tamora Pierce and her fabulous book series Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen!

Yes.
I love Tamora Pierce. I still have my book she signed. ;u; I need to read Mastiff sometime.




The Trickster Books are actually my least favorite out of all of her books.
Nawat makes it all better, though. c:

It's okay Windy, on my profile I'm a boy :D
But that's from when I changed my name to Tentacle Prince and didn't feel like changing my gender. Oh ho ho~

[Zerifachias]

Really? I think the Trickster books are hilarious.

Perhaps I'm just strange. (b=3=)b

@Kuori: Deal wit it.

[Kurio]

Oh yeah, we gender swapped for a while and never changed back XDD

[Creame]

I didn't know we genderswapped. o3o

I thought we just happened to both change our genders lol
... But now that you mention it, the motion sounds familiar...


Argh, RPing with Godmodders and one-liners is so hard. ;n; I neeeeeed quality posts....

[Masquerade]

Oh yeah. I got Mockingjay a few days ago. I only started reading it last night before I went to bed and managed to get through 114 pages. I fucking love it. *u* It's just as good as any of the other two books in the series; people are nuts.

[Zerifachias]

SEE?!

Told you so.

[Masquerade]

I changed my mind. It's a shitty book. ._. Kidding, kidding, but the ending sucked. Everyone I cared about died. And Katniss lived. Absolutely horrible.

[Zerifachias]

That always seems to happen in books like this.

The ending was a bit bittersweet for me. I'm bitter because Katniss lived, but I feel better since she's emotionally scarred for life. The bitch deserved it. B|

[Masquerade]

She was pretty much scarred from the first Hunger Games. It only got worse as things went along. I mean, that bitch was insane. Some of her thoughts...just. Holy fuck. I know she was traumatized, but..that bitch was INSANE.

You know one death I will NEVER forgive? One I think is even worse than Rue's?

SPOILER ALERT! DON'T LOOK IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO READ THE BOOK!!

I'm re-reading the first book.

It seems impossible, but I hate Katniss even more now. XD

I've always been here. Stalking the RPs.

Yes Zeri. Let the hatred manifest inside you..

[Creame]

I also

Stalk the RPs on various forums. o3o

It gives my eyes something to do.

[Nixen Luster Oha]

Well I don't know how to RP and a lot of people here do that.

So I just stalk. ;3;
