Okay, after the failure of his quizzes and puzzles, the poor old fellow has come up with a conundrum for his readers (2) to solve.
Well, no guesses needed about who sorted out this little 'conundrum'.
Richard (of RBB), of course.
Winner! So, what did I win?
Sorry, but The Curmudgeon was talking shit (again).
I won't be wasting my time with these conundrums again.
Oh well, I guess it gives the old chap something to do.
Mmmm.
RispondiEliminaI guess a 'Who Am I' puzzle will have to be the next one Mr Grumpy.
My efforts to add a little spice into the lives of the two old readers have been in vain I see.
RispondiEliminaNever mind eh.
One can go and diddle with his fiddle and the other can fiddle with his diddle. You can decide which one is which.
Come on TC, don't be hard on yourself.
RispondiEliminaNo pun intended, but they do pop up sometimes.
Richard (of RBB)
I was just trying to be kind to the old guy.
RispondiEliminaI don’t know why I bothered really?
Robert, please read this SLOWLY, and several times...
RispondiElimina"Okay, let's make it simple for you.
In the end, after having been refunded $10 each, each woman had paid $90 (total $270), and the meal cost $250.
They'd now overpaid by $20, which the waiter had stolen."
Seems pretty simple to me.
TC, stop being a baby. If you want to be kind, help Robert to understand the answer.
There was never $10 left over. The original statement, on Peter's blog, tricks you.
RispondiEliminaDivide 250 by 3 and start your thinking there. Think about how the three women could have evenly divided the correct bill.
Alternatively, ask Father when you're next at mass. He seems to know everything.
RispondiEliminaAre you sure about that Richard?
RispondiEliminaI read that the priest didn't know who Robert was or where he was going?
No, it's okay, priests know everything.
RispondiEliminaHey, who else could give all that great advice at a Sunday Mass?
"I read that the priest didn't know who Robert was or where he was going?"
Obviously the priest was having a bit of a laugh.
