Well my friend asked me these two riddles , and I found the answer of one of them while the other one , I kept annoying him to tell me . So now I wonder if the people of Off-Topic can solve them , which I'm pretty sure because I'm just plain stupid .
Riddle 1 :
There are 3 guys that go into a hotel and decide to stay a single night in there . The receptionist says it is $30 total for all of them to stay for one night . So each person pays $10 . ($10 x 3 = $30) The guys get the keys and leave . A couple minutes later , the receptionist made a mistake and found out that the initial cost is actually $25 . So the receptionist calls the bellboy and gives him $5 and divide it evenly to give it back to the customers . ($30 - $5 = $25) The bellboy doesn't know how to divide $5 by 3 so instead he decides to give each customer a loonie and keep the other two dollars for himself . ($5 - $3 = $2)
So now the original cost of the room was $10 for each person . ($10 x 3 = $30) Now since the bellboy gave back $3 the new price that each person should pay should now be $9 since they each got a dollar back . ($9 x 3 = $27) Now the bellboy has an extra $2 with him that he didn't give back . ($27 + 2 = $29) How come the number doesn't equal $30 ?
I think I explained this riddle fair enough . If you think there might be an error , just tell me and I'll see if it is one . I just can't believe I never knew the answer when it's right in front of me .
Riddle 2 :
There is this man and he created a portal that can go back in time 1 minute . That person goes in front of the portal and starts assembling a pistol . Once he is done assembling the pistol , he looks through the portal and see's himself still assembling the pistol . He shoots the gun and the bullet passes through the portal and kills himself in the past and also killing himself instantly in the present .
Edit :Now , how did he kill himself in the past? How could he have shot himself in the present through the portal , while he is still assembling the pistol . If that did happen , if he was assembling the pistol in the present time , wouldn't he be shot by his future self through the portal ? But if that did happen , how did his future self finish assembling the pistol and shoot himself in the past ?
The answer in this riddle is actually easy . Just took me a couple hours but might take you a couple minutes . I'm just not that smart .
But there is one riddle my friend also asked me and I got stumped by it .
Riddle 3 :
If there were no colours in the world , including black and white , what would we see ? EDIT :Let's just say that black and white is now a colour , even though it's not . I know that , we all know that . But let's just say that black and white is a colour in this riddle .
We wouldn't see anything right , because there is no colour . So basically we would see white or black , but that's a colour , so then what would we see ? Nothing ? But can you describe nothing and tell us what we would see in nothing ?
Well that's all I got . Now get to it Off-Topic !
