Three guys go walking into a hotel and need a room for the night. The clerk tells them that the rate is $30 per night. “Great” they say and each hand over a $10 bill.

After they have gone to their room, the manager comes in and tell the clerk that there is a special on that room and it only costs $25 for the night. The clerk hands the bellhop five singles and tells him to take them money back to the three guys. On the way up, the bell hop thinks to himself “there is no way to split up $5 evenly between three guys so I am going to give them back $3 and keep $2 for myself”

So each guy gets back $1 so they have paid $9 each for the room. IF 3x$9=$27 plus the $2 the bell hop has equals $29, what happened to the other dollar?

There is no other dollar. All the money is accounted for.

Trick wording, but the guys still paid 30 for the room, got 3 back, and 2 to the bellhop

I know how this works, but am having an impossible time trying to explain it. In the end, the hotel has $25, bellhop $2, and men $3.

Butterflies hide when it rains. They usually go to the same places they do for the night. Some butterflies hide under large leaves, some crawl down into dense leaves or under rocks, and some just sit head down on grass stems or bushes with wings held tightly. If the rains are exceptionally hard or of long duration many of the butterflies become tattered or die.

I googled it.

Well, but isn’t only cheating if you don’t admit to looking it up? There’s a stump question for ya…is it cheating or not? Okay, so maybe it’s not a stump question, but a matter of perception, lol.

Here’s one:

What has wheels and flies but is not an aircraft?
