Three
guys walk into town. They go into a hotel and ask for a room
they can share. The clerk has just the thing they want for
thirty dollars. The clerk sends them to the room, takes out the
ledger, and realizes that he made a mistake. The room costs only
twenty-five dollars. Now he has to divide five dollars evenly
three ways. Can't be done. So the clerk pockets two dollars,
tells the guys that he made a three dollar mistakeand gives them
each a single. Now, each man paid only nine dollars for his
share of the room. Nine times three equals twenty seven, plus
the two in the clerk's pocket equals twenty nine. Where's the
other dollar?

There
are 16 books of the Bible in the following paragraph...can you
find them?
I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was
a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts and for others it
was a revelation. Some were in a jam especially since the names
of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck
home to
numbers of readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to
be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes there will be
some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help
them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find
one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is
found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can
concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now for
there really are sixteen names of the books in the Bible in this
story Answer

The king
dies and two men, the true heir and an impostor, both claim to be his
long-lost son. Both fit the description of the rightful heir: about the
right age, height, coloring and general appearance. Finally, one of the
elders proposes a test to identify the true heir. One man agrees to the
test while the other flatly re-fuses. The one who agreed is immediately
sent on his way, and the one who re-fused is correctly identified as the
rightful heir.

have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the
bridge, but she managed to do it. How? Answer
