3 boys walk into a shop and buy a football for 30 dollars, each paying 10 dollars.
After they leave the store realizes the football was wrongly priced, it only costs 25 dollars.
A boy is send with 5 dollars after the 3 boys, but he figures he can´t split 5 dollars, so he gives them each 1 dollar and keeps 2 dollars for himself.
So the 3 boys get 1 dollar back each, each paying 9 dollars for the football, right?
So 3x9 = 27 dollars plus the 2 dollars the boy kept for himself = 29 dollars.
Why not 30 dollars? Where´s the missing dollar?
Correct. It´s 25 dollar. 3x9=27 minus 2= 25
It´s a brilliant riddle for kids, screws them up for a while.
His eyes are the crasiest I´ve ever seen. He´s a lunatic.
