anyone want to do sumthin fun? i'm know i've got an awful lot of energy for tonite that i would love to use somewher :)
 
Ok here's one for you to think about...

Three men go into a TV store to buy a second hand television.

The price is £30 (or dollars). They each paid 10 dollars.
When they left the manager told the assistant he should only have charged £26 (or dollars)
The assistant took 4 dollars out of the till and ran after the men.
Before he reached them he put 1 dollar in his pocket thinking they wouldn't know they were being short-changed.
He reached the men and gave them back 1 dollar each.

NOW THE QUESTION:

He gave them 1 dollar each which means they paid 9 dollars each for the TV.

9 x 3 men = 27 dollars
Plus the 3 he gave them back = 30 dollars (the original price of the TV) BUT the assistant has got 1 dollar in his pocket.

Where did that come from?

Answer in two minutes from...NOW!
 
he took 4 dollars out of the drawer.... and after giving 3 to the men... there is still one left that is in his pocket

9 x 3 men = 27 dollars

The dollar in the clerk's pocket is the difference between the $26 they shoul dhave paid, and the $27 thay actually paid after the refund. Each man should have gotten another 33.3 cents.
 
Yeah but...

...they paid 10 dollars each to begin with making a total of 30 dollars. After they received one dollar back they had only paid 9 dollars each making 27 dollars.
So the 27 dollars total is, as far as they're concerned, the new price, 27 + 3 they received back = 30 dollars (the original price) but there's still that damn dollar in the assistant's pocket making a total of 31 dollars.

This one gets me every damned time - even though I know the answer!
 
Yaaaay Weird Harold...

yep.

Now we've gotta think of something else to amuse Willing and Unsure. Any suggestions?
 
there's not 31.... see the manager said that he should have only charged 26... so the assistant took 4 out of the drawer, put one in his pocket and gave the other three to the men... therefore.... 26+1+3=30 so there was never 31 unless 1 appeared out of nowhere



btw i am still naked here ;)

If you've got your clothes off
I can't imagine it being chilly
within 5 yards of you.

Well, since Mistress is busy dusting and other things with Siren right now, how are you at snuggling? I'm still way below my lifetime quota of snuggles.

(Off Topic: are you an Aussie that it's just sunset at 11:00 PM PDT?)
 
i'm not much on snuggling... but i am much more into other things, if you catch my drift


and no... i'm not an Aussie... i'm from Chicago (i never said the sun just went down ;))
 
but since i'm still cold *putting clothes back on* i'm going to head off to my nice warm bed *sniff* alone *sniff*

goodnight
 
I did come to keep you warm,but you looked
so sweet I didn't want to wake you.
