THE MISSING DOLLAR! 3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM. A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5. ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF. THIS MEANS THAT EACH MAN PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29 WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR??????????? |

You're adding the 3 men's dollars to the bellboy's. But the bellboy isn't chipping in. He's got their money. It's a matter of sign. The three men have -9 dollars apiece. The bellboy has +2 and the hotel dude has +25. It all evens out. -27 + 2 + 25 = 0 Can't add 27 to 2 because one is loss and one is gain. Or if you want to count up the original $30, the hotel dude has 25, the three men have a dollar apiece, and the bellboy has 2. There's all $30. It's a pretty slick math error though. Well hidden. But semillama's right too. "Bob" always has it, Bobdammit. |

or may be he was just a two year old kid who died, and then some sick fuck needing an identity used his... Or am I wrong? |
|

Ready to give in yet? Just email and the misery ends. |

They're apartment numbers, but you've got the right idea. |

I'm found in marrow, but not in bone, I'm there when you rest, but I'm not in your bed, I'm not in the living, and I'm not in the dead. What am I? |

We're never going to hear the end of this now, are we? |

Why does the mouse when it spins? |

i hope. and Cat: your number is divisible wholly by every digit it contains, except 7. Is that the trick? seems sorta lame if the 7 doesn't work, too. that is to say, you get a whole, natural number if you divide 8,549,176,320 by 2, or 8,549,176,320 by 3, or 8,549,176,320 by 4, etc.... however: 8,549,176,320 / 7 = 1221310902.85714285714285714285714 So maybe that isn't what you're looking for? |

we were duped Hal |
|
Damn. |
aRRANGING numbers in alphabetical order is as improbable as arranging letters in numerical order. Does not occur in the real world. But neither does LP gas read warnings upoverhead stoop. SOunds ran gey ifn you sk>+ Cat, you have too much time on your hands. Figure why the wanterbill glosturrped above. |

i'm still pissed off about the mouse question. |
And Antigone, I could very easily kill you right now. You have warped my fragil little mind. I might never recover. |
|
|
This is me... |
Well I was hungry, now I think I'm offically warped and sick. Antigone, is it your goal in life to make me vomit on my keyboard. |
|
|
Maybe. OK, I take that back. That little movie of that woman vomiting into a bowl that Nate posted a while ago. That disgusted me. |

Sorabjiland Rule #322: NEVER EVER EVER click on links posted around here, unless you've been fairly warned. |
|
|
|
But, what exactly is a "hot link"? I mean, is there such a thing as a cold link? A tepid link? And do you mean hot hot or spicy hot? |
|

|
|
|
You suck. |

On second thought,I think I'd have to describe that as one horny asshole. |
The following number has a rather special characteristic. What makes it unique? 8,549,176,320 |
