Finally – a Simple Fact Question to Rest Your Weary Mind

Yesterday’s Problem:

A group of friends went to a hotel for dinner. After having their dinner the bill totaled $240.00. So the friends decided to distribute the bill into an equal amount for each to pay.

As it turns out however, two friends in the group forget to bring their purses or wallets along with them (or at least that is what they said). So the group decided that $10.00 had to be paid more by the other friends who had brought money to the dinner on calculated amount.

How many friends were there in the group?

Answer:

There were 8 friends in the group. Each of the 8 friends was to share $30.00 to cover the cost of $240.00. Whether the friends who covered to cost of the two who claimed to have forgotten their wallets were able to recover their money is outside the scope of this question!

How Many Friends?

Last Mind Puzzle:

This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! But it is highly unusual, though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

Answer:

The letter ‘e’, the most common in the English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.
