Anyone would like to solve this? i thought i would like to share with you guys a little math teaser. ______ |_|_|_| |_|_|_| |_|_|_| ok, up there is 9 boxes. a 3 columns by 3 rows square. fill each box with a number but each row and each column and the diagnols should should each equal to 15. but the catch is that you can only use each number once. Example 1: 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 //you cannot use this because you have used "5" more than once. you can only use each number once. Example 2: 5 4 6 //5+4+6=15, good 4 3 8 //4+3+8=15, good 1 9 2 //1+9+2=12, not good 5 4 +1 ___ 10 5 _3 --> 10, not good __2 __6 _3 --> 10, not good 1 so there you have it. good luck guys and girls.

ok here's another one. this one is kind of hard. 3 guys walks into a hotel. they pay $30 to the receptionist to rent a room and walked to their room. 5 minutes later, the receptionist said that $30 was too much so he thought $25 was enough so he gave $5 to a room service boy to deliver the $5 to the 3 boys in their room. on the way to the room, the room service boy figured it should be too hard to split $5 to 3 people so he pocketed $2 and gave each of the boys $1 totaling that $3. If each of the boy got $1 back and first paid $10 each to get in, they now would be paying $9 each. so since they paid $9 each, that's 9x3 which is $27. If they paid $27, and the bus boy pocketed $2, that would be $29. Who has the last dollar?
They ony paid $27 - 25 to the hotel and 2 to the bellboy. 25+2=27 word games - kind of how people mess with the numbers to make things look better or worse politically - they are lying but most people can't figure it out and believe them.
heh u got it. most ppl wouldnt figure it out. its how the question was asked that suppose to throw u off.
Wow frankcow, very quick. One more. Women and Cow have one thing in common. The only difference is women has it at front and cow at its back. What could be the common thing.?
Well if you want to really get picky 'o' isnt at the front of 'women', 'w' and 'wo' are at the front of 'women', however 'wo' isnt at the end of 'cow', 'ow' is... Or is that just too darn picky?
