    $ THE MISSING DOLLAR RIDDLE $


    Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

    If he has his fridge :shock: with lots of soda and something to eat with him then it will take him 16 Days to reach the top of the pit else he will starve to death :oops:

    Pete and Repete

    Teller: OK, listen closely, Pete and Repete are in a boat. Pete jumps out. Who is left in the boat.

    Victim: Repete!

    Teller: Pete and Repete are in a boat. Pete jumps out. Who is left?

    Victim: I already told you! Repete!

    When the victim says Repete, the answer to the question, the teller repeats the joke till the victim catches on and doesn't say Repete

    Intelligence Test

    First, draw the diagram pictured below. Do not let your victim see you doing this it will ruin the test




    Start from the section labeled one but do not point to it for your victim.

    Teller: Circle the biggest circle.
    The correct answer would be to circle the perimeter of the diagram as that is the biggest circle. The victim may however circle the largest circle in section one but keep in mind this is wrong but make no other comments.

    Next move to section 2. Again, do not point to the section for your victim.

    Teller: Circle the biggest X.
    The right answer would be to circle the X that divides the diagram into four sections. This is the same idea as in section one.

    Now move on to section 3.

    Teller: This is the purple house. The purple house is one story and every thing in it is purple. The doors are purple, the sofa is purple, the refrigerator is purple (go on as long as you like) now what color are the stairs?

    The correct answer is: since the purple house is one story, there are no stairs!

    Finally there is section 4

    Teller: This is a picture of a tree in a park. It's winter and the wind is blowing to the left. Which way do the leaves go?

    The correct answer is they wouldn't go anywhere because it is winter and there are no leaves on the tree.

    Scoring
    Each section is worth 25 percent. Add up the sections the person got wrong (example, 2 sections would be 50% stupid) and don't forget the appropriate comment.

    0% Stupid: You must have cheated
    25% Stupid: About average
    50% Stupid: Did you miss your morning coffee
    75% Stupid: Are you sure you're awake
    100% Stupid: Hey, as long as you did your best
