A man was found murdered one Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:

The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.

The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.

The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.

The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.

The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

[Michiko_Dreads]

LOL today is sunday too I gotta hold off killing until 2moro cuz the mail doesnt run.

Yeah the maid, Phee that was easy.

[phee]

CORRECT!

Harder eh?

OK then:

Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29.... Where is the remaining dollar?

[Rev.Reverence]

PHEE!!!........YOU BROKE MATH!!!

[know_buddy_kares]

This is where the problem lays in the riddle...

It is how it's worded.

they all paid a total of 25 together.. not 27. the 27 already counts the bellboy's tip into the equasion or else they would be at 25 still. Becuase at 27, 9 dollars each, it's still equating in having spent 2 dollars for the bellboy.. god this is difficult to explain ugh.. brb a sec, gonna ms paint this diagram...

i'll have better luck doing it here.. red is mens money, blue is bellboy/hotels money

25+5=30

25+1+1+1+2=30

25+3=28 NOT 27. while the bellhop kept 2=30 total.

That is the riddle answer, the question was worded with the wrong questions. The men had not paid 27 (9 dollars each)

now time to get complicated...

25/3=8&1/3 each. plus 1will equal 9 &1/3 and joined together (*3) equals 28

So with that math showing exactly what happened by the numbers...

When the riddle came to the point where the men each paid 9 dollars is wrong, they paid 30, and got 3 dollars back while the bellhop kept two. hence totaling their pockets combined with 28. not 27.

Clever but not the answer... she only moved, touched, removed, or handled.... one.

[know_buddy_kares]

Clever but not the answer... she only moved, touched, removed, or handled.... one.

either that or rev did something to the two chopsticks in question.
