Callisto Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hi folks, I thought it was high time a made a post of my own, since im new here etc. :) So here is a Brain Teaser for yah all, see how well yah do. I will give (or confirm) the answer tomorrow :D ------ Three nuns went into a shop to buy a cheap TV. They see one for ?30 and decide to pay ?10 each for it. So the salesman takes a ?10 note off each nun which equals ?30, and tells them to pick the TV up the next day. After they have left the shop the manager told the salesman that the TV was only ?25 and to give the nuns ?5 back. So the salesman went after the nuns, but he decided to make a bit of money himself so put ?2.00 in his pocket. Once he caught up to the nuns he gave them each a ?1 back. That meant they had only paid ?9 each for the TV. So 3 x ?9 = ?27 Plus ?2 from the salesman = ?29 What happened to the other ?1 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samoa Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 That's just lame. He 2.00 of each of the nun's money in his pocket. You know this because how esle could he give each back 3? 3+2=5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reactionary007 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 if you look at it from the proper perspective, the 2 you added to the 27 is really part of the 27. at first, i was like - holy sh*te, where did it go... twisted my brain up for a minute or two.
