Riddle: Three guests check into a hotel room. The manager says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the manager realizes the bill should only have been $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 as five one-dollar bills to return to the guests. The bellhop realizes that he cannot equally divide the five one-dollar bills among the three guests, so he just gives each guest $1 back and keeps $2 as a tip for himself. As each guest got $1 back, each guest only paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop kept $2, which when added to the $27, comes to $29. So if the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

Answer: The $27 paid already includes the bellhop's tip, so $27 + 3x$1 in hand makes $30.

Answer: the answer is “turds“. want to know how to get this answer? here it is: decifered - read this backwards and you shall see the riddle will reveal itself to thee the clue is a number the answer is not caused through inorder currently out of order the answer lies within after this, the top paragraph is used for only one thing. the word “backwards” after you decifer the riddle, you still have to do some backwards reading. “the clue is a number“. to get this number, count the number of words in each line, for the first, its 5. count from the end of the line “r”and count 5 letters back. you end with “u“. do the same for the rest, and you end with : “usdrt” the next part, is a riddle in itself. “caused through inorder currently out of order the answer lies within” the “caused through inorder”is suggesting an anagram. the “answer lies within”means that the answer is the solved anagram. if we solve the anagram, we come up with two results that make sense. “durst”and “turds”now think, a teenager made this riddle, it would seem strange having an answer like “durst”leaving only one possibility. yep, you guessed it. the answer is “turds“
