9. Three guests check into a hotel room.

The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10.

Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25.

To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests.

On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally.

As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep$2 for himself.

Each guest got $1 back: so now each guest only paid$9; bringing the total paid to $27.

The bellhop has $2.

And $27 + $2= $29 so, if the guests originally handed over $30,

what happened to the remaining $1?

Lalasticlala, Mynd44
the total sum was $30. They were later charged $25 and got a refund of $3
$25 + $3 = $28 + the $2 hoarded by the Bellhop =$30
No money dey miss

Five men are going through the street.
It starts raining.
Four of them start moving faster.
The fifth man makes no effort to run from rain, however, he stays dry.
The other four get wet anyway.
All of them arrive at their destination together.

How could this be possible?
the 5th guy has an umbrella nah grin grin

At the beginning of WW1, British soldiers wore brown cloth caps.

But many soldiers were suffering from head injuries.

The officials were worried about that so they issued an order to make helmets for their soldiers.


However, the number of soldiers with head injuries increased after the change was made.

Why do you think that happened?

This has nothing to do with helmets. It was the beginning of the war so obviously there will be far less casualties or head injuries as compared to the middle of the war.

He simply walked behind the four men. The four men may have created a shade for him as the walked in front.

A man lives on a 10th floor of some building. Every morning he takes the elevator to the ground floor to go shopping for groceries.

When he comes back, he takes the elevator to the 7th floor and continues by stairs to reach his apartment on the 10th floor.

Why?

Lalasticlala, Mynd44

As far as the guests are concerned, they paid $27 because each has $1 change. The make up of the $27 is $25 with the hotel clerk and $2 with the bellhop.
$25 (paid by guests) + $3 ("discount" by the bellhop) + $2 (with the bellhop) = $30

On money is missing abeg.

... The guests all paid the sum of 9.3 usd not 9 dollars. when the clerk returned 5 dollars back, that means the 3 of them have 25dollars paid for the night.. 25÷3 = 8.3 ..... and later the bellhop returned 1 dollar back to each of them. 8.3 +1 = 9.3 . 9.3 usd is the total amount each of the guest paid. multiply 9.3 by 3 and you get 28 usd. 28 plus d 2 dollars with the bellhop gives us our 30 usd. hehehehe.. now you see the remaining 1 dollar we looking for has already been accounted for in the 25dollars with the clerk. so no money lost my brother... to modify my earlier submission . The guest all paid for the 1 dollar missing.

The fifth man was in a car..it was raining so he couldn't drive fast..while the other 4 were moving fast..at t en the both got to der destination the same time.
Note that my assumption is based on th fact that the riddle didn't say if they were walking or driving...It only states that they were going through the street(the means of transportation was not included)
