Answer 2

Take two (2) of the nines (9) and make them a fraction which is 9/9 which equals one (1) and add it to the other two (2) nines (9) which will be 99+1=100!


 

Answer 3

The facts in this riddle are clear: There is an initial €30 charge. It should have been €25, so €5 must be returned and accounted for. €3 is given to the 3 friends, €2 is kept by the bellhop - there you have the €5.

The trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most.

Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay €9, not €10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid €27 for the night. But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only €25 and when you add the €3 returned with the €2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with €30.

Answer 7

Answer 8

There are six F's in the sentence.  One of average intelligence finds  three of them.  If you spotted four, you're above average.  If you got five, you can turn your nose up at most anybody.  If you caught six, you are a genius.  There is no catch.  Many people forget the OFs.  The human brain tends to see them as "V's" instead of "F's".


 

Answer 9

The trawler rises with the waves so no step will go under water.


 

Answer 10

From the base to the summit, the volcano Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the tallest.  Most of it just happens to be underwater
