Riddles?

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.

 

Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.

 

Explain how the tractor got there?

A man lives on the 12th floor. He goes to work every day and takes the elevator down for it. When he comes back, he goes up to the 6th floor and takes the stairs to the 12th. But on rainy days he goes up with the elevator to the 12th. Why does the man do that?

I've heard this before, so I'll let other people try.

A cop was walking past a restaurant when he heard someone scream - "No John, not the gun!" He ran inside and and saw a doctor, a lawyer, a milkman, and a dead body on the floor. He promptly walked over to the milkman and arrested him. He didn't witness the shooting and there was no apparent evidence to prove who shot the person and no one told him who the killer was. How did the policeman instantly know it was the milkman?

You have to subtract the $2 from the $27 making the total $25 which is the new total after the clerk realized he made a $5 dollar mistake.

Hmmm...Germany and America had a car race to settle their differences. America had won and Germany was celebrating because of the news paper. "Germany, Wins race!", even though America had won. What was in the article that made it look as if Germany really HAD beaten America.

 

Thats not the actual riddle and close enough to it, if you guys give upjust let me know so I cant post the answer.

I saw the tongue-stuck-out smiley and thought you used it on purpose. My thoughts were that you were drooling at the thought of the dough and cookies. :D
