Yes but when it is filled it reaches a state where it is no longer empty, but when it's full and being empty'd, it will go through a state of being half empty and then empty.

 

Its still half full. Whatever you're trying to say doesn't mean anything.

<<270 + 20(what the fourth guy kept) = 290.>> WRONG. 270 - 20 (for the 4th guy. If you have to pay something you can't add it to your money, you have to subtract it)

 

3x0,90= 2,70

Bread= 2,50

Money left: 0,20

4th guy took 0,20

Money: 0,00

 

The mistake is, that you calculate with an entire price of 3,00, but that's wrong! The 3 guys only pay for bread (2,50) and the 0,20 for their friend. So it's 2,70 (3x0,90).

 

If you want to solve it with the 3,00:

4th guy has 3,00

pays 2,50 for bread

money left: 0,50

4th guy takes 0,20

money left: 0,30

each of the 3 guys get 0,10

Money left: 0,00

son: dad, will you help me find the least common denominator in this problem?

dad: good heavens, son, don't tell me that hasn't been found. they were looking for it when i was a kid!

 

 

ok but seriously, here is a fun riddle / logic question

 

 

 

3 guys need to buy bread, they pay 1 dollar each.

 

In total there is now 3 dollars, and a fourth guy (hasn't paid) goes out to buy it.

 

The bread only costs $2.50, meaning 50 cents are spare. The fourth guy decides 50 cents can't be split between 3, so he decides to keep 20 cents and pays back each of the three other guys 10 cents.

 

The 3 guys have now actually paid 90 cents each. So, 3x90 = 270 cents. $2.70 + 20 cents (what the fourth guy kept) = $2.90.

 

Where has 10 cents disappeared?

 

 

Bread = 2.50

4th dude kept .20 so as to give and even amount of change to other 3 dudes.

In total right now is 2.70

Give the proper even amount of change which is .10 to each of the 3 dudes now you have .30

.30 + 2.70 = 3.00

 

GG

 

P.S. fuck you ishbu123 for beating me to the punch...

They have each paid one third of the price of the bread ($2.50/3 = 83.3333 cents), plus one third of the the fourth guy's profit ($0.20/3 = 6.66667 cents). The sum happens to be 90 cents. If the fourth guy had given back the exact sum, they would have payed 90 cents minus 20/3 = 83.3333 cents.

It's a lot more simpler, see post above yours.

What flies but cannot take flight, walks but cant walk and swims but cant swim?
A woman with her wedding ring finger missing and a man get off of a train, and are met by a man that they haven't seen for thirty years. He pulls out a gun and kills her. The police take no action. Why?

idk i posted this on ogrish and that's what the eggheads came up with lol

 

edit: you/ishbu really make much more sense. gg.

paradox : a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth

 

conundrum : a riddle, the answer to which involves a pun or play on words/anything that puzzles

 

two different things, learn the difference
