Tom and his younger sister were fighting. Their mother was tired of the fighting, and decided to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in such a way that they couldn't touch each other.

How did she accomplish this

Tom's mother slid a newspaper under a door, each sibling standing on each side.

could it be that the mother had two copies from the same day newspaper?

the other i thought is she slid the newspaper through the door so eache kids stands on oposite sides.

Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn’t know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself.

Now that each of the guests have been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

what a crap hotel. I would rate it two stars at best :twisted:
I would also fire that mathematically challenged clerk :lol:

anyway,
why add the $2 to the $27? it's already in that amount of $27
to get the altered bill of $25 it's a simple subtraction of the $2 from the $27
no? as rafa would say :lol:

Well done, obviously you've seen that one before :) Here's another:

Scientists have proven that cats have more hair on one side then their other side. Some people believe that this is because when cats lay on their side they need insulation from the cold on the floor or ground. Which side of a cat has more hair?

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Look carefully here - Do you simply see an older man & woman gazing at each other or can you find a young man serenading 2 young women?
