"February?

1717171"

February on a leap year is the month when people eat the least.

Imagine how old you would have to be to get your driver's license if your birthday would be on a leap year.

You couldn't vote until you were 18*4 = 72 years old!

i think you did it wrong, its suppose to be what 2 presidents, and in that case the answer would be Roosevelt, elected 4 times.
 
1. Three guests check into a hotel. The clerk says the bill is $30 so each pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify he gives the bellhop five singles to return to the guests. On the way back to the room the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money evenly. As they didn’t know the total of the revised bill, he decides to give each guest a dollar and keep two for himself.

Now that the guests have been given a dollar back, each has paid $9. 3 x 9 = 27 and the bellhop has $2. 2 + 27 = 29. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining dollar?

2. True or False?
This statement is false
(j/k this is a paradox don't hurt yourself)

3. A guy named Bob in the woods is chopping wood for his fireplace. A blue thief runs toward Bob to steal his wood. In response Bob kills the thief with his axe. The next day Bob finds that the axe's head is dull and needs to be replaced, so Bob runs to the town blacksmith to replace his axe head. His axe handle seems ok so he goes back to chop wood. Suddenly a red thief runs toward Bob to steal his wood just like the blue thief. Because Bob didn't want to get another new axe head he kills the red thief by hitting him over the head with the axe handle. The thief was dead but the axe handle broke so Bob went to the blacksmith to get a new axe handle. That night by the fireplace while Bob was drinking his Tea the ghost of the Blue Thief screamed while pointing to Bob's axe, " That is the axe that killed me!"

Is the Ghost of the Blue Thief correct or incorrect when saying this?

1. Tax.

2. As soon as it is false it can never be true again. It has nothing specific to do about the the statement.
It is merely a statement that this statement is false.
 
Bob Joe Larry Bellhop Clerk
10 10 10 0 0
0 0 0 0 30
0 0 0 5 25
1 1 1 2 25

They payed 9 dollars each and had 1 dollar left each. That is all $30.

The $30 dollars are: $25 with the clerk, $1 for each of the guests, and $2 for the bellhop. 2+27? What?

nice guess to the first riddle but no that is not the answer. If you were throwing in tax then the clerk would be giving the bellhop less money back.

I really don't understand your explanation to the 2nd question.

1. There was no extra dollar. The 2 dollars he's taking is from the 5 dollar return. Err, in other words, theres supposed to be 25, but he's taking an extra 2, so it totals 27. I probably explained this horribly but the extra dollar does not exist.
2. Er, okay?
3. He is correct. He used the axe handle to burn in the fire. At least I hope he did...Muderess Bobs. Ugh.
 
1. It's all misdirection. 27+2 doesn't exist.

3. He's correct. There are at least 3 axes. One killed Blue. One had its head replaced. One had its handle split by Red.

its not an extra dollar, it is a missing dollar but you pretty much got it right. The riddle tries to mislead you by saying 25 + 2 = 27(Bellhop's money) 27+2 = 29 (trying to display bellhop getting the money again) However it should be 25+3= 28(guests' money) 28+2=30(Bellhop's money)

my brother told me that 3rd riddle, it can actually be interpreted 2 ways.

way 1: Ghost is wrong, nothing of the new looking axe is of the original so it can be thought of as a new axe.

way 2: Ghost is right, The axe has new parts but is still the same axe. Like when you take all the parts out of a computer and put in new ones, however it remains the same original computer.
