What can go up a chimney down but can't go down a chimney up?

 

[The Zigman]

An umbrella.


3 guys rent a hotel room. it costs $30
Each guy puts in $10 to pay.
they go to the room.

The clerk realizes he over charged them for the room, it should have been only $25
He decides to refund them the $5
He realizes its too difficult to devide the $5 amongst the 3 guys, so he pockets $2, and gives each guy $1 back...

So now, each guy paid only $9 for the room..
3X $9= $27

Plus the $2 the clerk pocketed = $29.

Wheres the other $1?

The guys actually paid $28 for the room not $27.
25 + 3 =28

There is no answer to the way it was set up.

I agree, $30 payed initially - $2 kept means they gave him $28...

 

[Slappy*McFish]

$30 minus $2(to the clerk) = $28 minus $3(to the 3 guys) = $25
That is a confusing riddle...lol. The guys did only pay $9 each...right? weird.

$30 - 3 = $27 the guys paid. The clerk kept $2. That leaves $25

You guys posted some pretty good ones, my turn =).

If you go .9 times the speed of light and you fire a gun and the bullet coming from the gun goes .9 times the speed of light, will the bullet go back in time?

 

[Fla_Larry]

and if it does, did you ever in fact fire the gun?

however the answer is still no, dont ya just love percentages. that would be 90% of 10% remaining from the first 90%
