So every man paid actually 90?, together they paid 270? (90? * 3 = 270?). The trainee has 20?.
270? + 20? = 290?
It was 300?, where are the remaining 10??



@ shadows and Kakariko for Question #2:
Change the word doctor to nurse, read again, and change nurse to doctor. The magic of clich? Occupations.

There was no 300 the formula is 3 times 90 equals 270 minus 20 equals 250 which is the amount the store collected. Balances

If competent performed many get serious problems to explain it.
How about this http://forum.transladyboy.com/showthread.php?t=6548, seems to be more a challenge for you.


Another one, probably to easy for Captn Sacto:

The day before yesterday, Suzie was 6 years old. Next year, she'll turn 9. How is this possible?

Hmmm the Father and Son riddle .... The Father was a priest who was taking the Doctors son home after church.

The father wrecked because he only had one hand on the wheel.


I'm smart enough to know that i don't know everything.

Because Suzy's birthday is December 31. Today would be Jan 1. Two days ago (Dec 30) Suzy was 6. On Dec 31 she turned 7. Later this year, on Dec 31 she will turn 8. Next year on Dec 31 she will turn 9.
