Yes, that does work. A hermaphrodite IS half a boy

I corrected your wording on that =x

oO Since when were you HALF a boy?

Here is a differnt version of the missing dollar:

Three men go to a cheap motel, and the desk clerk charges them a sum of $30.00 for the night. The three of them split the cost ten dollars each. Later the manager comes over and tells the desk clerk that he overcharged the men, since the actual cost should have been $25.00. The manager gives the bellboy $5.00 and tells him to give it to the men. The bellboy, however, decides to cheat the men and pockets $2.00, giving each of the men only one dollar.

Now each man has paid $9.00 to stay for the night, and 3 x $9.00 = $27.00. The bellboy has pocketed $2.00. But $27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00. Where is the missing $1.00? WTF?

My original post still answers this. o.o'

Showing that 35 dollars are being circulated doesn't really explain the issue of the missing dollar of the initial 30.

Either way, this riddle's the same as the other one, just a different scenario.

[Hellfighter 17]

The clerk/bouncer have the initial thirty. o.O Besides, the riddle wasn't asking about the initial thirty in that sense.

Try this:

A man is stuck in a box. There are no doors, no windows, no openings of any kind. Inside with him is a round table and a mirror. How does he get out?

[Hellfighter 17]

He uses the round table to break the glass because that was one of the sides of the box.

Math riddles are annoying

"Is it possible for one infinite number to be greater than another infinite number? Prove your answer"

"Measure 2 gallons exactly using a 5 gallon jar and a 3 gallon jar"

*"A woman has 7 children, but only half are boys. How is that possible?"

"Find the next number in the following numerical sequence"

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211

Yes it is possible, with simple mathematics.

1.33333333333~ infinitely will be .1111111111~ infinitely larger than 1.22222222~ infinitely.

All her children are boys.

To measure out 2 gallons exactly, fill the 5 gallon jug twice with the 3 gallon jug, using the left over water in the 3 gallon jug after filling up the 5 gallon jug will equal 1 gallon so doing it twice will give you 2 gallons.

There may be infinite digits, but they are not 'infinite numbers.' I think 'infinite numbers' was poor wording, though.

Yes I made that "only" mistake with the half but fortunately it has a backup answer for just that scenario. Yes the transvestite is Gohan.

Whoever said 5-3 gallon is right

I made no mistake with the infinite numbers thing. Hellfighter is right, those are infinite digits not infinite numbers

Since this is the last surviving riddle 500 zeni to the one who solves it.

Oh, yea--to solve it. >.>

Every positive integer (going on for infinity) would be larger than every integer (going on for infinity both ways) since the positive integers would add on in the first scenario, whereas in the second case each positive would have to have a negative version, thus canceling each other out for infinity. If you aren't going for sum, though, every integer number going on for infinity would be larger than every odd or even (you choose, I guess) integer going on for infinity. I kept it to integers to stay out of the whole fraction business. ;)

BTW, I said the '5-3 gallon' answer.

[Hellfighter 17]

I gave two examples of infinity being greater than infinity. Did they both not fit your answer?

[Broli]

I can show it using two improper integrals, but I don't think that would be the answer you're looking for. =X

[Hellfighter 17]

w00t! I'll do the transfer.

[Broli]

Ethically speaking, it's a bad idea to offer zeni for riddles and the like. Answers are at the fingertips of anyone with Google.

[Hellfighter 17]

Eh, I didn't google for any of the answers. I think I've heard something along the lines of that riddle before, though.

[Broli]

I didn't say you did.

[Hellfighter 17]

I didn't think you were, I just like to clarify a lot. >.>;

I got this one, but the answer is kinda trippy, sorta not a feasible answer. It uses homonyms and such.

Anywho:

The man looks into the mirror twice, and sees what he saw the first time, uses the saw to cut the table in half he then puts the halfs of the table back together cause to halves make a whole and uses the hole to get out of the box.

That's how I heard it anyway, it's quite possible that i'm dead wrong though. Anywho, lemme know.
