...lol

1. Depends on the type of alphabet. English has 26 while other languages have more/less. But if you're talking about "alphabet," there are only 8 letters.

2. No clue. I fail at seeing patterns.

3. What is, "Tom Marvolo Riddle?"

Here's the old mssing dollar paradox:

Three ladies go to a restaurant for a meal. They receive a bill for $30. They each put $10 on the table, which the waiter collects and takes to the till. The cashier informs the waiter that the bill should only have been for $25 and returns $5 to the waiter in $1 coins. On the way back to the table the waiter realizes that he cannot divide the coins equally between the ladies. As they didn’t know the total of the revised bill, he decides to put $2 in his own pocket and give each of the ladies $1.

Now that each lady has been given a dollar back, each of the ladies has paid $9. Three times 9 is 27. The waiter has $2 in his pocket. Two plus 27 is $29. The ladies originally handed over $30. Where is the missing dollar?

Note: I assume this thread was made for the DST people so if a mod could be kind enough not to close/move it...

it has the subtractions and additions done at the wrong times to confuse people there is no missing dollar.
or this is where it went:

The following night two friends check into the same restaurant. once again the waiter charges them $30 ($15 per person) after the cashier informs the waiter the price is only $25 so he sends the waiter back with five $1 coins to pay the two friends back. The waiter knows he got away with it once so he tries it again, but this time he pockets $3 and returns $2 to the friends ($1 per guest). So each of the two friends got $1 back from their original $15. Therefore each paid $14 which is a total payment of $28 for the meal. Now the waiter has $3, the friends paid $28, for a total of $31

Correct! +1

You're getting of a small aircraft and see it has 10 steps to get to the ground. The first passenger jumps down the first 5 steps then steps on each of the rest of the steps to get off. The second passenger hops between every second step. You walk down each step then jump over the last one.

Assuming every passenger has a different way of getting down the stairs and nobody goes back up any stairs. How nmany passengers would it take before every combination of stair stepping had been done?

A few people are found dead in a cabin in the middle of the forest. How did they die?
