riddles (open to anyone)

Rubikong is going to do a weekly riddle for you all to try to figure out................Have fun

Jon, Justin, and Young went to Whistling Jack's Lodge and shared a room. They each payed $10, as the night clerke said that the room was $30. When the manager arrived in the morning, he found that the night clerke over charged the drunks, being that the thursday night special is $25. He gave the 18 year old blond waitress 5 dollar bills to deliver to the gentlemen. Knowing she could not split the ones equally, she promtley pocketed $2 on her way. After giving them each $1 back, it seems that now they have each payed $10, received $1 in return having now payed a total of $9 each... If 3 x $9 is $27, and Stephanie has the other $2, What happened to the last dollar?

WTF?

There is no "last dollar". They have still overpaid by $2, and the 18 year old blond waitress who is smarter than all three of them has the $2 in her pocket.

Here's one for you rubikong:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Nunu

Nope, it's Mary - read it again

oops maby I should read it better next time

I guess I'll go ahead and go with Mary, final answer.

Those are good ones when you tell them without writing.

If a man and a half, can eat a pie and a half, in a minute and half. How long would it take three men to eat 6 pies?

Just taking a stab at this, I'm guessing that since the half man wouldn't be capable of eating anything, all of the pie eating must be getting done by the whole man, which means he is eating 1.5 pies in 1.5 minutes. That is 1 pie per minute per man. So 3 men could eat 6 pies in 2 minutes.

Edit, corrected the miss-type above - the fingers type faster than the brain can think...

Im going to say 2 min.

Cool, that's two wrong answers so far. By the way a half of a man can eat. That's a given in the question.

Well if the half man can eat too, then my answer would be 3 minutes...
