I like to explain this riddle a little differently. Simply, when you perform the mathematical slight of hand of 9+9+9+2, you’re fooling the listener into believing that he must solve for the original $30 that you paid, but this is wrong. What you actually are solving for is 9+9+9-2 which is equal to 25. Once the refund happens, the fact that you paid 30 before is now obsolete information, but the riddle pretends it’s still important. That’s why it works best with 30 because by just changing the sign, you can get a fake result that is one off the original.
@tommyellis77286 жыл бұрын
9+9+9+2=29, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.
@onredj43266 жыл бұрын
Tommy Ellis Yes, that’s 29, and not 30 because it’s the wrong equation. Instead of +2, the correct math is to -2. And instead of expecting 30 as your answer (deception), you should be expecting 25.

Paused at 2:09. My "solution" is that there is no reason to expect the total "before" and the total "after" to be equal. In the "before" scenario, $10 + $10 + $10 = $30. In the "after" scenario, $9 + $9 + $9 = $25 + $2. Everything's fine, the equations are equal, and there's no missing dollar. The reason the "riddle" exists is because the $2 is placed on the wrong side of the equal sign - we're putting it with the customers, when it should actually be with the bill. We're asking "why isn't the $29 equal to $30?" when in fact there is no reason to suppose that it should be.

Shorter version: The refund was 5 dollars. So you took the original payment, subtracted 3 of those dollars but then added the remaining 2 dollars back. That makes no gosh darn sense. Slightly longer version: 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 Whoops the bill was actually 25 dollars so subtract 5 from both sides to get the actual bill 10 + 10 + 10 - 5 = 30 - 5 Now lets separate out the different payments and simplify the right side (10 - 1) + (10 - 1) + (10 - 1) - 2 = 25 See we subtracted the first three dollars of the refund, but we need to continue to subtract the other two So now we get: 9 + 9 + 9 - 2 = 25 Which becomes 27 - 2 = 25 That's the whole thing. Bing bang boom. No nonsense about "considering the $3 twice"

I've seen IRL where people do these quick-math problems and cause intentional screw-ups to their own benefit. We called them quick changers, where a guy would hand you $100 for his bill, get his change back, and then say "oh I have a 20, here, give me back the $100." So he hands you a $20, takes his $100 back but doesn't give you back the change. Then while the cashier is confused as hell, he walks off with his purchase and something like $100 profit.

It's a little more convoluted than that. Say you pay $5 for a beer with a $10 bill. The bartender hands you back $5. You take it and then say, "Oh, before you close the till, I have some dollar bills that will make it even", and you hand them 5 $1 bills and receive the $10 back. You end up with a free beer. The confusion comes from doing multiple transactions simultaneously and double counting the $5. Basically, in the bartenders mind, you paid $10 + $5 in ones and got $10 back. It's a classic small con.

Yeah it makes sense, you paid $30 and got back $3, which means you paid $27. The waiter didn't keep $2 out of $29, he kept $2 out of $27.
@rb14715 жыл бұрын
Got me at first with the presentation but then I realized you did this: 9 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 29$ which is false, the 2$ is part of the 9 + 9 + 9. So really the answer is (9 + 9 + 9) + 3 where (9 + 9 + 9) includes the tip and the 3 is the returned dollars.

Yup, "tip" is not what it is, the guy "stole" the $2. That might make it a little bit easier to understand. Stole also signifies that they were unaware of the transaction, and its size.

In the first equation presented, he made a blunder by adding the bus boys tip in twice to total amount owed. In the second equation presented the number 91 mysteriously was added into the equation as if from know where. Perhaps I'm simply mistaking what the question was, so please let me lay it out. (120-48=72) and then goes on to say (91-72=19) and then (19-7=12) So I go into the store where there is 120 apples and I buy 48 on them leaving 72 apples in the store, then I go over to the oranges where there is 91 oranges and buy 72 of them leaving 19 oranges and then decide I need 7 more oranges leaving 12 oranges for a total of 79 oranges leaving 12 oranges in the store. (91-79=12) So I went into the store and where there WAS 211 total produce and I bought 48 apples and 79 oranges for a total of (48+79=127) leaving 72 apples and 12 oranges for a total of (72+12=84) (127+84=211) there is nothing mysteriously missing nor anything mysteriously gained.
