The vanishing coin! or the thieving waitress

[pbgd3]

Let's make this complex, three suitors give a woman 10 goats, woman has 10 goats. Woman's shed only has room for 25 indoors, so she gives each man 1 goat back. And lets two graze in the yard.

So each man gave her 9 goats. 3x9 is 27 goats on the farm. 25 indoors, 2 outdoors.

27 goats on farm + 2 goats outside on the farm, holy crap 29 goats... oh wait, we counted the outside goats twice, ooops.

[hogwartsatheart]

i do it like this

30-5=25

25+3(the mens money)=28

28+2(the stolen money)=30

easy!

[CherylcolandIzzy]

The men payed me than £9 each coz the waitress's money is still their's.

[Kupo231]

Lol. Phail. There are 3 men right? So the waitress has 30, she gives the men 1 each (3) and, because she is an a**, she keeps 2 for herself (2). 3+2=5. 30-5=25 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLFAIL.

[MageMagix]

What's the point of this? If you steal two or three dollars you're still a thief... Bitch already stole two dollars!

[MsSouldestroyer]

waitress bloody stole the other dollar as well, thieving bitch

[amanandhischainsaw]

il tell ya where it went it went the girl took it from guy number 3 btw whos name is gerald for a discount u know what

[tommygermain1]

the men got ripped off they should of only paid $8.33 the waitress is taking the money that they paid extra

[Tatsue295]

she didn't steal nothing, she just took a tip.

[xemnas787]

anujgamer343 is right ... but " anujgamer343 don show off " ....

[ichigo101411]

SHE IS A BITCH ......

[soniclover1997]

okay if it was 25 then the guys got 3 back and the waitress had 2 then add that up....... 30!

[hijklmnop93]

what happened was...

a racoon came in and stole the extra 2 quid cause the bills were coming and her husband had left her with 5 kids! and the waitress was blonde in the pic so the racoon knew she wouldn't notice! !:)

i hav nufing against blondes they are actually quite smart if u fink bout it!! LOL

[domesticgt]

its the order of operation retards.

[apuyou]

so they spent 9 dollars each and have 1 left each, (9 x 3) + (1 x 3) = 30 : )

[monterey194]

the restaurant has 25 the men have 3 and the waitress has 2 = 30

[SilentSuperSteve]

Spoiler:

The men actually paid $27 for their meal because the waitress took 2.

27/3=9 each.

Instead of adding the $2 to the amount the men paid, you should actually substract it to get to the 25 total they paid.

[mxvirus]

the trick is that if the total was 25 for the meals, meaning not all the meals the men ate are the same price. so each man did not pay 9. 30(total)-25(actual total)=5...and 3(men)*1(what she gave back)=3 and 5(intentional total left for the men)-3(money given back to the men)=2...and 2 was what the waitress stole.

[001superlink]

??WHAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND??

[Sedivy97]

it never existed (o.O)

scary......

[levelaru]

lol dunno ...good 1

[VIPonepieceVIP]

wtf

[dragomist614]

i think ino the solution "I THINK" 1.WELL IF THEY £25 between 3 men,then £25 +£3 what they got bak then + the £2 the waiter stole which comes

2. its impossible for them to pay £27 for the meal if it only costs £25 doh!!

[dragomist614]

dude they didnt pay just £9 they paid £9.33 ors the quiz would have been impossible

[makemesmile96]

Ooooh i know!! It's 45.78 plus the 3 cents that they used for the 9 bucks! then its 8.343.38478888888888888888 then 90..34.76.82356.94840934094.90­948549.94504958. 9452095.4594509

Z z z z z Z zzzzzz.....

[mazda192]

@makemesmile96 EUREKA!!

[pwincessolivia]

thats weirdly scary lol

[santagotback101]

9x3=27, 27 minus the 2 dollars the waitress took if 25, and add the difference of the money givin back which is 5. 25=5=30

[adidaschik317]

You subtract, not add!

[Kyntho]

^Ding ding ding!^

[skatr4life2]

its mixed in with the original amout they paid...i think. wel we had a problem like this at school and my teacher said somethin like it got mixed in or sumthin like that

[davosolo81]

3x9 is the question that fucks ppl up...only an idiot would think theres actually a buck missing...in all its 25 bones 4 tha meal, she gives 3 bucks back and gives herself a 2 buck tip, that cunt and therefore its still 30 bucks...

[mum1ranqe]

lol all u ppl saying this is shit is just pissed coz u thought u were tht smart (which you'll say u didn't, but you did) and couldn't figure it out, and also, wolfer, spelling fail as phail...... u fail buddy

[Meneseth]

This shit sucks, it only tries to make you think on something that never happened (the missing coin) The coin is IN there! This riddle is dumb and flawed

[shitty3344]

it's 9.3333333333333333333333333333­333333333333333333333333333333­33333333333333333333333333333

......zzzz

[bigvic22sti]

lol you have to look at it this way.....the meal was not $25 it was $27 becuase she kept 2. so she gave back $3 and theres your $30..... no dollar missing......there would however be a .1 missing if she decided to divide...5/3 and keep nothing

[GothycDreams]

There's no missing money! I already saw this riddle before.

[jackdude500]

im no genius but £25 split into thirds is 8.3 so the 2 added on to the total and the .3 makes a total of .9 so thats ur answer

[bigvic22sti]

but theres is still .1 missing

[buttonstheturtl]

if the waitress gives them each 1 bak then they would get that one but not the 2/3 from the 2 dollars the waiter keeps, they arent paying 9 dollars there paying 9 and 2/3 dollars each, if that makes any sense

[weephilboi]

they all gave £10.00 then all got £1.00 bac so dat means they payed £9.00 each and

£9.00 X 3 is £18.oo and she kepy the other £2.00 duhh and £2.00 + £18.00 is £20.00

[SteveyChaos]

lmao 9x3 is 18!!!!!! lmaooooo

[SteveyChaos]

why am i gettin marked down, im pointin out that the guy aboce me said 9x3 is 18!!!

and then says hes tryin to make 20...did this guy even ever have a clue!!

[1cowlover]

nine x three is 27........

[muslim110]

simply put, total price is 25 which means each should pay 25/3=8.33 but they paid too much, 9 each and this difference adds up to the missing $1

[IchLeibeBillKaulitz]

YES! thank yew! i finally get it!

[SteveyChaos]

wrong, look down at anujgamer343, thats the correct answer

[Wolfer611654]

you phail

[pausec]

ok i got this right away

[anujgamer343]

This is why I am smart. They pay 10 bucks each, girl takes 5 from total because true pirce is 25 bucks not 30. She gives 3 back. So guys paid 9 bucks each for total 27. price is 25, so she takes 2 away, to add to total. Now to find thirty, they paid 27 with the girl gave the money back, but THE MONEY GIVEN BACK WAS FROM THIER OWN MONEY. add 3 to 27 = 30 Easy: 10x3 = 30 30-25=5 9x3 - 2 = 25 25 + 2 + 1(3) = 30 NOTE DUMB PEOPLE WILL NOT GET THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[6willy79]

this guy is right so stfu about it retards

[likemike386]

@anujgamer343 alot of ppl get lost cuz of the way its told in the video but its rlly simple o.o they way u said u got me lost but then i got it but heres a easier way they gave her 30 but the dinner was 25 she gave them 1 dollar back each she keeps the 2 now look at this add the 3 dollars to the 25 its rlly 28 o.o and the 2 dollars she got mack the 30

[StarWell101]

@anujgamer343 So...your kind of saying I'm dumb? You made this way too complicated...

[haytham1024]

@anujgamer343 yea your not that smart you probaly looked it up because the video made mistakes

[atome000]

@anujgamer343 Haha! on the contrary simple minded people understand this question much more than, say, Harvard graduates. Simple minded people find out how to do it without multiplication...

[melchizedektan]

the 1 is her tip

[shadowolf192]

I think, personally, that someone's forgetting to count from "0".

If You count from 1, then, of course You'll end up with 11 fingers.

[shadowolf192]

No, The other guy's right.

It should be 27-2.

[LiamHere2K8]

Thats what i thought.

[dannydicko2008]

look its simple, they paid $27 for a $25 meal so in essence, they are owed $2, which is what the waitress took. add that to the $3 they receive and... there is the $30

[bnyney2k]

haha... c'mon...

1. They pay $10 each

2. meal costs $25

3. waitress give $1 to each of the men from the $5 change, and keeps the last $2 for herself.

4. This means each man PAID $9.

5. overall the men have paid $27

HOWEVER, what is always overlooked in the script is that only $25 has actually gone into the TILL. if you minus the $3 you get $27 (which is what the men have paid from their pockets). This means that, logically you would need to also SUBTRACT the $2 the missy has kept = $25.

[mea05key]

its not 3*9 pounds =27 instead 3*9.33=28 because the waitress stole 2 pounds and not 3 pounds !

[camilo9999]

this would mean that now there is .01 pounds missing

[mea05key]

The waitress says that the food cost 25pounds after correcting her mistake. The 3 person know that the food know actually cost 27 pounds after the waitress returned their 3 pounds. They know that 2 pounds is somewhat missing and its stolen by the waitress.

[freetoken4u]

she gave each of the 3 guys 1 dollar. she kept 2. 2 + 3 = 5. 5 plus 25 equals 30. woooooo, not difficult once you think about it THIS way instead of the video's way...................

[angwbc]

calm down I'll put it simple.... 30-5=25

3+2=5 5+25=30.... She gave back 5. they got 3 and she got 2. Get it?

[heyyoutub]

no stupid, christ sake im 12 and i can figure this out... instead o 9x3+$2 you minus it giving you 25 fucking dollars!!! EASY

[mmorpg77]

wow someone must have worked hard on that to get that mad about it lol

[heyyoutub]

lol.. justt pointing it out

[mmorpg77]

plus ur answer makes no sense....

[heyyoutub]

are you thick? mate omg.. this is a simple trick. It shows that people like to add rather than subtract.. so when you end up with 27 dollars you dont add the two that she took for herself you minus it!! ffs!!

[MissyMJno1Fan]

that was obvious, i figured it out like ages before u said. That £1 must have fell on the floor

[squids0doom]

uhh lol one of the men didnt pay 9 bucks
