10 Weird Things About Me + Logic Puzzle!
Feb. 5th, 2007 03:11 pmFirst of all, here's a little logic puzzle for everyone out there. Took me less than five minutes to solve it, so I bet most of you can do it as well. All comments are screened by default, and I'll unscreen those that don't have the answer. *shall offer a drabble or icon to anyone that gets it right though she's still writing out Xmas fics* No cheating and trying to Google it!
Once A, B & C went to a restaurant. After having tea and light refreshment they asked for bill, the amount of bill was $30 They decided to pay the bill amount on equal share. Everybody took out $10 from their pocket and paid the bill.
They were yet sitting and gossiping in restaurant, Suddenly the waiter realized that the amount of their bill was $25 not $30
He took $5 from counter and decided to return them. Then he thought they are 3 how will they share $5? So he has decided to keep $2 to him and return only $3 to them. He came to their table and returned them $3 with apology. Everybody took $1 and put in their pockets.
Now my question is first time everyone paid $10 later they get $ 1 refunded.
So everybody paid $9
$9 * 3 = $27
The waiter put $2 in his pocket.
$27 + $2 = $29
So, where is the remaining $1?
Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog post of their own - 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
10 Weird Things About Me
1. I love complicated/weird color names. Red, blue, green -- they sound boring to me. I want crimson, scarlet, carmine. Or cornflower blue, prussian blue, or marine blue. Or mineral green, emerald green, or olive green. I especially love the two-word colors, like cornflower blue, which is always my default font color on MSN. I even have some of the colors listed in my interests in my profile.
( The list goes on. )
My tags for this meme:

fairly_grimm, nevita, ego_chan, xinda, a_white_rain, and nyrehtak.
Does anyone know why it's always six people that get tagged? I'd think that ten would be more appropriate in this case.
