One of the biggest brain teaser ever!! try to solve it :D

One man is going to buy a radio for 30 dollar, he gets 10 for each of its 3 sons.

when he gets to the shop he buys the radio for 25. so he gets home and give each of his sons 1 dollar and he keeps 2 dollars so:

9+9+9= 27 and + the 2 dollars that he kep would be = 29

where is the other dollar?

You seem to have confused "brain teaser" for "basic grade school maths..." don't worry, a lot of people get caught out on that one...

He gave them 3 and kept 2 + 25=30.............. My brother never told me the answer to the one "There is a town with no history of crime, why do the people lock their doors?"....X360PS3AMD05

Good One.

The brain teaser the TC should have told?? lol

the crime records were stolen?

Because they watch TV and they're scared...

This is a crazy brain teaser. How does a radio have three sons?

ok one more time:

he buys the radio for 25 and he gets 5 back so he gives every one of his sons 1 dollar so in reality the 3 sons give 9 dollars to their father to buy the radio( because the father give one dollar back to each of the boys) so it ll be 9+9+9 =27 righ? and the father kept 2 dollars

27+2= 29 where is the dollar left?

I think he might have told the riddle wrong. Sidburn19

Yeah, I've heard similar riddles told in more convincing manners.

27+2= 29 where is the dollar left?

big_boss4life

Still doesn't change it, the number 9 in there is irrelevant.

He had 30, he spent 25 making the remainder 5, if he gave a dollar back to each of the sons that still makes it a remainder of 2, problem solved.

big_boss4life

The radio only cost 25!!! not 30

so 9+9+9=27 plus the dad gets 2 back thats -2

27-2 = 25

your working out the price of the radio

I think he might have told the riddle wrong. Sidburn19

Yeah, as in I think he was high or something when he told it. :lol:

LOL. Wait, I"ve got a different brain teaser. A guy goes to the store and drops 3 eggs, so like 12 eggs + 37 eggs = 49 eggs. What happened to the other 8 eggs?

This is why grammar is so important.

allright forget it .... i m going to ask somewhere else.... big_boss4life

Good, and then maybe they can figure out where on Earth you got 9 + 9 + 9 from.

you told it wrong.

Here is the same riddle but with a different scenario. it is still easy anyway.

Three men checked into a hotel for the night. It cost $30 to stay at the hotel so each man paid 10 each. Then they went to bed. Later on in the night the manager realized he had overcharged the men by 5 dollars, so the manager sent the bellman up to the room to return the extra 5 to the three men.

But the bellman thought it would be hard to divide 5 dollars among three men. So he did them a "favor" and took 2 dollars, then divided the remaining 3 dollars to the men, one dollar per man.

Now each man paid 9 dollars instead of 10, because each man had a dollar returned. 9x3=27 dollars. Add the 2 dollars by the bellman and that's 29 dollars. But the night started with 30 dollars!

WHERE IS THE MISSING DOLLAR?

allright forget it .... i m going to ask somewhere else.... big_boss4life

hey i told you the answer when adding 9+9+9 that is solving the price of the radio not how much the dad gets initially- but when you write it down you get time to think about it and realize it

but the internets is the internets you wontt get a much different reaction anywhere else

Tell me the answer! I just can't get my head around it...9x3=27+2=29...

30-5=25+3(1 for each bloke)+2(for the bellman)=30.

:(

*Head assplodes*

AliasUK

he told it wrong.

Hang on...

3 guys each pay $9 dollars now ($27 total). They give back the $1 each refunded to themand now pay the original $10 price...$30. But the bellman still has the $2. $32 total. WTH!?

Stupid crappy maths... I hate you.

Strangely, I can get my head around Physics, but not a riddle.

Sigh...*hangs self*

Noo!! ok one last time i will try to explain this

One day a father decided to buy a radio ok? ok, he gets 10 dollars for each of his 3 sons (because he doesnt have any money..) when he gets to the store and buy the radio, he gets 5 dollars back, so the radio costed 25$. when he gets home he gives each of his 3 sons 1 dollar and he keeps the 2 dollars.

so each son in reality gave to the father 9 dollars because they got 1 dollar back

so this is the problem

27+2= 29 where is the dollar left?

ps: i m sorry english is not my first language so if you dont understand u can go **** urself :D

thanks you

There is no missing dollar. They did not each pay 9 dollars. They only thought they did. They each payed 8.33. 8.33+8.33+8.33= 25(you have to round because a penny cannot be divided) .They then got a dollar back. then the dad kept 2. So 25 + 3+2 = 30

you told it wrong.

We have to be careful what we are adding together. Originally, they paid 30, they each received back 1, thus they now have only paid 27. Of this 27, 25 went to the manager for the room and 2 went to the bellboy.

lol there you go
