Riddles are stupid. They aren't even a sign of intelligence or creativity. The end result is always predictable, and there are usually ten thousand answers that would DO, but you have to give a specific ONE that just happens to sound clever.

I hate riddles.

Another one.... easy for Mr. Evironmental (aka gumby) to get....

When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height. Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was. If the tree grew by five centimeters each year, how much higher would the nail be?

it would be at the same height because trees grow from the top

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent.

Where did the other dollar go????

1/3 !

You're supposed to subtract the $2, not add it back. Total is $25, which is what they paid for the room.
