a globe

no, thats not it. keep trying. hint: It travels on cubes and rectangles. hope thats a good hint, can't give too much away

Its that thing on maps.. I forgot its name i heard this riddle a long time ago..

Nope, still not it. It has nothing to do with maps.

As for the 1$ riddle the Belhop has it..

No not quite. The Bellhop has two dollars and only two dollars as was stated quite clearly.

What are you talking about i thought it was a play on words... If the bellhop doesnt have it then there is no remainder! Because 3+2=5 and 25+5=30.. So there should be no remainder!

EDIT: OH I SEE! Where it says so the total has come to "27" One of the people didnt accept the 1$!

 

[oppp7]

Another one: What runs but never walks, has a mouth but never talks?

A printing press because it "RUNS" and has a mouth since it talks about daily things! In a metaphor kinda way! Unless the mouth is being literal then im completely wrong..

Nah, not quite right yet. Read the question closely again and again, it'll become clear. You're right that it is a play on words but you seem to be going in the wrong direction. All the people did accept their 1 dollar though.

Another one: What runs but never walks, has a mouth but never talks?

A river.

Here's one I like...

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

Alright, another of me riddles. I really like this one but it's better suited for actual conservation.

Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn?t know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself.

Now that each of the guests have been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

Classic misdirection. You don't add the bellhop's $2 to the $27, you subtract it. Each guest paid $9, totalling $27 - this is correct. The bellhop's $2 is included in this $27, and therefore the total amount the clerk gets should be $27 minus the bellhop's $2...or $25.

So: $25 (clerk) + $2 (bellhop) + $3 (refunded) = $30 originally paid.

There is no remainder in the problem, The room cost 25 dollars and they tiped the belhop 2 dollars. That's where the 27 comes from. The 3 dollars they were refunded come from the 30. 30-3=27 which is the 25 they paid together plus the 2 for the tip.

Thats what i said but he said i was wrong.. So then i said that the belhop has it.. But he said that was wrong also..
There is no remainder. The guests paid $27, $25 of which the clerk took and $2 of which the bellhop took.

It's there. Start with the $30 and take the bellhops $2 away. Now you have $28. Take away the $3 that the guests got back and BAM! $25.
