I will be posting puzzles for you to answer, know the answer, just say it. There are no prizes this is just for fun. If you want me to use a puzzle that you have pm it to me. Have fun

Here is the first puzzle:

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

language.

 

[saltnpepper]

Correct ! Even tho i do not understand the puzzle( but i will end up waking up in the morning understanding)

Puzzle:

Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the missing $1?

AHHHHHHHHH! I have been wracking my brain trying to figure this out. Kudos to whoever does.

hang on my dad is calculating.....

AH HAH!!!!

there is NO missing dollar!!!!

go dad go dad

As a more detailed explanation, there is no missing dollar because the $2 that the bellboy has shouldn't be counted. You say that the occupants paid $27, but then you add the bellboy's $2 to that, when actually the bellboy's $2 is part of that original $27. $27 plus the $3 that was given back to the occupants = $30.

To explain the first puzzle - the "gry" clue is to throw you off track.

It then says there are only three words in "the English language". The third word of "the English language" ... is language.

 

[saltnpepper]

Correct ! There is no missing dollar.We have to be careful what we are adding together. Originally, they paid $30, they each received back $1, thus they now have only paid $27. Of this $27, $25 went to the manager for the room and $2 went to the bellboy.

Yet another puzzle :


At the local nursery school, I was chatting to my daughter's friends and noticed a number of things. Jessica has mousey coloured hair and the girl with black hair was wearing a green dress. Lucy is not blonde and Lauren does not have brown hair, Chloe was wearing a blue dress. The blonde girl was not wearing red and Lauren was not wearing green. I can't remember which girl was wearing a yellow dress. Can you determine the colours of the girl's dresses and their hair?

Okay, I made "one of those charts" and came up with this:

Jessica has mousy colored hair and is wearing a red dress.
Lucy has black hair and is wearing a green dress.
Lauren has blonde hair and is wearing a yellow dress.
Chloe has brown hair and is wearing the blue dress.
