Where Did the Dollar Go ? Puzzle (2024)

FAQs

Where is the dollar riddle answer? ›

The answer, of course, is that there is no "missing dollar." The method of calculating the total is simply flawed. The premise that adding each of the three guest's adjusted payment of $9, totaling $27, to the bellhop's pocketed $2 will give you the total sum of money paid is incorrect.

Each of the 3 guests has $1 in his pocket, totaling $3. When added to the $27 revised cost of the room (including tip to the bellhop), the total is $30. To obtain a sum that totals to the original $30, every dollar must be accounted for, regardless of its location. This sum does indeed come out to $30.

Solution. There is no missing dollar. You cannot add the manager's $2 to the $27 that the three friends paid, because how much they paid already includes it – this would be double-counting.

You took $100, you paid back $2, effectively borrowing $98. You spent $97 of that $98 leaving you $1 change. There is no missing $1, you only appear to have a missing $1 because your perspective is incorrect. The $1 you reserved yourself is part of the $98, not additional to the $98.

Without cheating, it's not possible because sum of three odd numbers can't be even.

As the guests don't know that they were charged the incorrect amount for their room, the bellhop decides to simply give them $1 each and pocket the extra $2 as a tip. Each guest gets $1 back, so they each paid $9 for their room, totaling $27. The bellhop kept $2, and $27 + $2 = $29.

What is the answer to a man steals $100 dollars riddle? ›

Riddle Explained

Let's make this as simple as possible: The man stole a $100 bill to begin with—so that is what the shop owner had lost. The man used that $100 to buy $70 worth of stuff, which means the shop owner had to provide $30 in change from the register to complete the transaction.

Total spent (20+15+9+6)=50; Total balance(30+15+6+0)= 51. Thus, it is always balance + spent =50, but not always the sum of the balance= 50. and so always the money spent or the expenditure must only be added instead of adding the balance.

There is no missing pound! £1=1 person + £1= 2nd person + £1= 3rd person + £2= the waiter= £5. Where it says £27.00, that's only 2 people when there is meant to be 3. So then the waiter keeps the £2.00 and that makes £5.00 which is the change.

Riddle: Using only addition, add eight 8s to get the number 1,000. Answer: 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1,000. This is the kind of math riddle you can work out with times tables, or by simple logic.
