If a centipede a pint
And a millipede a quart
How much would a precipice?

3 guys go to check into a hotel. When they walk in the bellboy say's "the room's are $30 a night". Well, these boys are lookin to party so they all want the same room so they each hand the bellboy $10. (10x3=30)

The bellboy walks up to the counter and the desk clerk says "you idiot the rooms are on special for $25 a night". He then hands the bellboy back $5 in $1 bills. Trying to figure out how he is going to give 3 guys back 5 $1 bills the bellboy decides he will give each guy back $1 and keep $2 for himself.

If the bellboy gave each guy back a $1 that would mean each guy is basically spending $9 for the room correct??

Soooo....if 9x3=27 and the bellboy kept $2 .....and 27+2=29

Where did the other dollar go?

ok, mine:

in the mountains there is a modest little log cabin. inside the cabin is a dead body with a bullet wound to the head. the ONLY thing in the cabin aside from the body is a broken pencil. all the windows are shut and all the doors are locked. what was the course of action leading to the man's fate?

AAAAHAWWW i got it! well almost

If a room cost 25 dollars between the 3 of them they must pay 8.3333 dollars each 8.33 repeting x 3 = 25 so its not 9 dollars a person thats not right. of im half way to solving this puzzle now to finish it!!!

Platan0 he tricks u in the riddle by when he says the bellboy gives back 1 dollar to each of the men but 9 x 3 = 27 not 25 it should cost each guy 8.333 repeting dollars to equally pay for the room thats the first trick in the riddle there is still the second part to figuer out or i think so anyway.

A girl is now as old as her brother will be when the girl will be double the age of what her brother was 5 years ago when the girls age was half of the sum of their current ages.

What are their current ages?

He stabbed himself in the head with the pencil and broke it off trying to get it out??

Biggles.... He used the pencil to prop open a window and a hunters shot hit the pencil breaking it in half and shutting the window. The bullet then struck the man in the head killing him.
