Your Favorite Brain Teaser

[Dusty Donuts]

Here's my brain teaser:
Three women share a hotel room. They order a bottle of chapagne from room service. The room service guy knocks at their door, gives them the bottle, and gets a ten-dollar bill each from them since the champagne costs $30. When the room-service guy gets down to the lobby, the guy in the lobby says "You idiot, it costs $25, not $30! Go up and return $5!" So our friend room-service guy does that, but pockets $2 as a tip, since they won't be able to split $5 evenly between three women anyway. He gives a dollar to each woman.

That means every woman paid $10. Every woman got $1 back, so in the end every woman paid $9. And $9 times 3 equals $27. Add to that the $2 the rooms-ervce guy pocketed as a "tip" and we've got $29. What happened to the last dollar?

That's subtracting three from 30, not adding 3 to 25. It's just doing it backwards.

Alot like the mastermind with the hats in a mini edition.

four guys are convicted to lifetime prison for stealing candy from the Queen of England (yea i know, but i didn't make it up )
The four guys are all given a hat of either white or black(two blacks, two white) they don't know the color of their own hat. if one of them can guess the color of their own hat all of them will go free.

i'll make i little drawing here with numbers xD

1 2 3 4

guy 1 can see 2 and 3
guy 2 can see 3
guy 3 and 4 can see no one

they can't talk or communicate in anyway.
who guesses it ?

the answer isn't something dumb.

Guy one sees two hats of the same colour, so knows his own must be different? That seems way to easy, though. Is there some trick?

Here's one that's easier than the other one I have going. A woman leaves home one morning and quickly turns right. She jogs for a while, then decides to turn left. After another short distance, she turns left again and picks up speed. After turning left a third time, she heads back home, where she sees two people wearing masks. She is not alarmed in any way. Why not?

Because they are the catcher and the Umpire.

ZE?

and:
there's a couple dumb answers... just count to over 1000 without counting your fingers; count by 100's on your fingers;
or use binary code (each finger is a power of 2. 1, 2, 4, 8... 256, 512. summation puts the total at 1023. you don't count each finger individually more than once, technically)

ZE is not correct, I'll post the answer in a spoiler incase you want to guess more: the final pair is TH, these are the suffixes placed at the end of of numbers when denoting position - in other words firST, secoND thiRD and fourTH

Were you spelling standardise? Cause that's pretty good answer too.

And yes, using base 2 is the correct answer for the second one

Look at her fingers for a ring. Then go wash your dirty, dirty mind.

If the hats on person 2 and 3 are NOT the same colour, then person 1 won't answer (because they can't tell what colour they're wearing.) Therefor person 2 must know that their hat is a different colour to person 3.

Umm....Try and solve this, Batman!

I have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear, and nerves but cannot feel.

A verse from the bible?

Seriously though, I have no idea.

1.Nothing
2.God knows.
3.He had hiccups. The point of the puzzle is that you DON'T tell people that in the first sentence.

the Scrubs joke doesn't work here... they're asking for 55 cents, not 30 cents.
Its a half-dollar and a nickel.

"Gooder" and "badder"? I'm quite amazed.

After another short distance, she turns left again and picks up speed. After turning left a third time, she heads back home, where she sees two people wearing masks. She is not alarmed in any way.

Because they are the catcher and the Umpire.

Nicely done, good sir.

Here's another one: All men have one. Some men have longer ones than others. A man usually gives it to his wife after they get married, and the Pope doesn't use his. What is it?

I'm tempted to say "A Life" but the bit about the pope would only make that work from an anti-religious viewpoint which would be against the point of a puzzle. Other than that though, I can't think of anything.

Since I'm assuming it isn't the... ahem, obvious, answer, I'm going to say... hm...
