Who can figure it out!!!

Original post by shamma

Take a break from your wedding planning..and see if you can figure this one out

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK
REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO HE 3 GUYS ROOM WITH $5.

ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF. THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

I have a good one...but it might take me a bit to explain...here goes:

In a room are 3 lights bulbs...

The switch to each of these lights is in another room...

You are in the room with the switches....

How do you figure out which switch belongs to which light BY ONLY LOOKING IN THE ROOM ONCE!!!.

It's probably wrong like all my others LOL

can we handle two at once?!

a man rode into town on his horse. He arrived on Friday, spent three days in town and left on Friday. How is that possible?

Re: Who can figure it out!!!

I was thinking you could put two of the lights on and you'd know which switch belonged to the one off. But that doesn't differentiate between the other two...
