what's it from?

quick question(totally off topic), but how you make 5+5+5=550 TRUE only useing a ONE straight line(\,|,/,etc)

ah... for the hell of it, what's the answer to this one also?

-three guys rent a hotel
-the hotel guy says it's 30 bucks for a room
-each guy gives a 10 dollar bill
-the hotel guy is mistaken because the actual price is 25 bucks
-the hotel guy being the guy he is takes 2 dollar for himself
-the hotel guy gives each person back one dollar
-that means each person paid 9 dollars
-9x3=27
-the hotel took 2 dollars
wheres the other dollar?

The answer is draw a diagonal line through the = Sign :D

There is an initial $30 charge. It should have been $25, so $5 must be returned and accounted for. $3 is given to the 3 friends, $2 is kept by the bellhop - there you have the $5. The trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most. Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay $9, not $10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid $27 for the night. But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only $25 and when you add the $3 returned with the $2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with $30.

Hope that helps you out....I used to be all about those stupid brain teasers and stuff! :bow:

i think you got the first brain teaser wrong. i think i have the answer but i'll tell you later.

remember, you can't change the equation, you have to make 5+5+5=550 TRUE

edit : i had this clear now i'm confused again lol.

30 - 2 - 3 = *25. original bill = 25. 25/3 = 8.333333... plus the 1 dollar back per person = 9.3333.... 9.333 x 3 = 28. 28+2 = 30. there ya go. the extra dollar is in the .33333... X 3 that i keep forgetting when i read this.

this misleading part is when they say 27+2 = 29 ... b/c the 2 dollars is part of the 27 (25+2 is what the clerk has and each guy has $1). ok. i have a headache now lol.

okay... since no one is gonna reply, i'll tell you the anser to the first one as for the second one, matlock got it.

5+5+5=550 you simply put a straight line(|) on the first + sgin to make it a 4. 545+5=550

[aznpoopy]

actually from a computer science perspective matlock is right about the first one. regardless of what you are doing you are changing the equation... to make it a does not equal works. its called a boolean statement. true or false. 1 or 0. to say 5+5+5 != 555 would return TRUE as a boolean. am i geeky or wut. :cool:

I like the techie way of answering the first one better as well. I guess it takes someone who's taken a few programming classes to appreciate the genius of it. Of course, the other way works as well.

The second one.... my brain hurts, I'm gonna go take an advil now! I see how it works, but it is still confusing.

Ok here is one for you

Connect all those dots without picking up your pencil or mouse. using one line. once you start you can not pick up the pencil (hint) think outside the box.

[hmooblis]

i remember this one. instead of stoping at a dot, you stop pass the dot into the space were their is no dot, that's the secret.
