3 friends had $10 each and pooled their money to buy a car. They brought a car for $30. The salesman overcharged them by $5 so he went to find them to give them their money back, but he lost $2 on the search. When he found the 3 friends he gave them $1 each back meaning they paid $9 each for the car. 3 * $9 = $27, the $2 he lost on the search adds up to $29, where’s the other dollar from the original $30?

I've heard of this one before many moons ago but can't remember it. The trick is not to multiply 3 x 9 resulting in 27. I can't remember the rest.

There is no other dollar.

Trick I'm guessing is to wrongly concentrate on the $27 rather than simply differencing $30-$25 and seeing that the $5 is account for ($2 lost + $3 returned) which all checks out.

 

[N4TE]

$10

Yep

Spot on, the trick is in how you calculate it.

When Jo was 8 years old she hammered a nail into a tree in her backyard to mark her height. Ten years later at age 18, Jo came back to see how much higher the nail was. If the tree grew by 5cm each year, how much higher would the nail be?
