alright, i gotta another one i just thought of...

3 guys check into a hotel. the cost for them to stay there comes out to be $30. they all chip in $10 each. they then go up to there room in the hotel. the employee at the front desk realizes that he over-charged the guests, the actual cost of the room was only $25. he sends the bellboy with extra $5 dollars to give back to the guests. the bell boy not wanting to do something for nothing, decides to keep $2 as a tip for himself, and give the other $3 back to the guests. the guests are handed the $3 dollars by the bellboy, which they immediately split $1 for each person. so, in total, they started out chipping in $10, and got $1 back = that's $9 dollars total. if you multiply $9 x 3 (number of guests) = $27 dollars. the bellboy kept $2 for himself. $27 + $2 = $29. what happened to the missing extra dollar.

ok, some easy ones that all of you should have heard...

father and son are in serious car accident. father dies immediately upon impact. the son is rushed to the emergency room at the local hospital. upon review by the doctor, the surgeon says, "i can not operate on him, he is my son." explain.



The surgeon is the Mother of the son.

Sorry, bluejay I've heard of this one about 5rys ago on Car Talk (which has a weekly puzzler). It's more of a math question, but basiclly the equation 3x9+2=29 is flawed, the total shouldnt be $30 since they aren't paying $10 anymore, and you cant add $2 because the bell boy is taking money rather than contributing it. Its easier to explain by showing the transfer of money below:
$30 guys + 0 bellboy + 0 hotel = $30
$00 guys + 0 bellboy + 30 hotel = $30
$00 guys + 5 bellboy + 25 hotel = $30
$03 guys + 2 bellboy + 25 hotel = $30

so the equation should be
3 x $9 [3guys spend] = $27
$2[bell] + $25[hotel] = $27

You got me on that clock riddle, although it was a little vague, mirror one was good too.

Here's a tough riddle that i like:

See the twins and the triplets and you're overjoyed
But a laugh or a smile you choose to avoid
The twins act as single, at least they do try
The thing is as funny as a poke in the eye.
