Who Nu's are nutritional cookies that taste terrific. They make great snacks for kids and a not so guilty late night snack for the grown ups!
To enter to win these (they will be mailed to the winner) all you have to do is give the correct answer to the riddle on this blogpost.
Three people are eating at a restaurant. The waiter gives them the bill, which totals up to $30. The three people decide to share the expense equally ($10 each), rather than figure out how much each really owes. The waiter gives the bill and the $30 to the manager, who sees that they have been overcharged. The real amount should be $25. He gives the waiter five $1 bills to return to the customers, with the restaurant's apologies. But, the waiter is a dishonest man. He puts $2 in his pocket, and returns $3 to the customers. Now, each of the three customers has paid $9, for a total of $27. Add the $2 that the waiter has stolen, and you get $29. But, the original bill was $30. What happened to the missing dollar?
This riddle tormented me for almost a week but when I finally figured it out the answer was almost as obvious as deciding nutritional cookies over the others!
Out of all of those with the correct answer a winner will be chosen Monday April 22, 2013! Good luck.

The answer is that there is no missing dollar.

DeleteIt's being looked at backwards. The meal was $30. The manager returns $5. So it is only $25 for the meal. Add the $2 the waiter took plus $3 returned equals $30.
ReplyDeleteDo you know why the dollar isn't missing though

ReplyDelete$27 and $2 (to get $29) is the wrong operation. They paid $27, $2 went to the dishonest waiter, and $25 went to the restaurant. You have to subtract $27 minus $2 to get $25. There never was a $29; it has nothing to do with anything
