Another correct way to look at it is the men paid 27, 2 to the bellboy and 25 to the owner.
Anyone else got good coin riddles?

Ten coins in a line, in two groups of five.
You count from the left:
" 10,9,8,7,6", and to speed to count, for the right group:
"And five makes eleven"
And there only 10 coins? How come?

I'm guessing you added 5 to 6 to get eleven... There are still only ten coins  |

You're adding quantity numbers and assigned numbers. If you put two in the first row, it would be 10, 9, and eight make 17.
I like using this trick on kids who are just old enough to add, to show them they have 11 fingers.

I've got one to keep the coin fun going while biggfredd conjures up another one of his much anticipated riddles. I hope that's okay with the OP, I just didn't want to create a new thread while this one is already around. So I was browsing ebay for deals on gold, and I came across a one of a kind Roman coin. The price was almost beyond my budget. It was an old old coin dated 44 B.C. There was some other stuff on it as well, which I couldn't interpret. And the gold looked like real gold, so how did I figure out it was a fake coin? And no, it wasn't being shipped from China, not that easy.  |

Fuzzy, you've been shopping fer 10 hours now must be a big purchase! Honestly, I forgot to post when I got back. How could a coin be produced dated with 44 B.C.? If that's B.C. = Before Christ, they would not know when he would have been born, and 44 B.C. is probably before Joseph (and maybe Joseph's father) was born. |

OK, you have nine dimes. Arrange them in two rows of five dimes each row.

Well, I am not bragging, but I think I could have figured this out sooner than the 6 months it took Svslav to solve it.  I did not even know there was a quiz here. |
