to wait. From: daupo Date: Thu Jul 14 01:31:23 2005 URL: Message: Hey, thanks for the great site. Even the guestbook is funny (thirty solutions
to one problem, none at all for others, etc.) I have bone to pick though, with
the Grammar Paradox: The problem is stated as "Make a sentence..." but the
solution is actually two sentences. Maybe state it as "a papragraph" or just
"grammatically correct English," but the latter opens other solutions, I think.
Even using the semicolon and eliminating the capitalization bit would be
better.
And my suggestion fo rthe site as a whole: Perhaps have comments for each
puzzle/parabox/etc. I had to be careful not to see solutions for things I
hadn't done yet while scrolling down, and at least one puzzle was ruined.
Anyway, thanks, and keep up the good work.

check was for 30 pounds and then 5 pounds is
returned making their check now 25. He gives 1 back to

paid 9 pounds each [10(they paid)-1(given back)].
However, if 3 pounds is given back to them then 25
(amount the check comes to)+3 (the amount they are
given back)=28 pounds is accounted for. So they each
paid 9.3333 not 9 pounds. The 2 left over is in the
waiters pocket. 28+2=30 From: Krishna Duth Singh Ranglall Date: Tue Feb 10 20:47:33 2004 URL: Message: The Paradox on the missing pound is rather simple.
Actually, when the ladies paid £9 each, the £9 include the

already included in the £9 bill...... From: Joe Date: Tue Jan 27 10:27:56 2004 URL: Message: cool site - thank you!

1) if the word heterogeneous is heterogeneous (belongs to
heterogeneus class or set), then it does not describe
itself, then it's heterogeneous. The same with homogeneous.
2) If heterogeneous is homogeneous, then it describes

jsmithll78@yahoo.co.uk From: Austin Date: Tue Oct 14 02:23:32 2003 URL: http:// Message: Ok...This is the way yall see it:Bill=30 Mistake=5 Tip=2
Returned Amount=1 Each (3)
30/3=10 (Each Persons Bill)
10+10+10=30 (Total Bill)
30-25=5 (Mistake)
5-2=3 (Mistake - Tip)
3=1+1+1 (Remaining Money For Each)
So (Still the way you see it) *if they payed 10 each and
received 3 back they payed 9.
9+9+9=27 (Money Payed)
27+2=29 (Tip Added)
29=30 (Original Amount)
Wrong!
This is the Answer:
10+10+10=30 (Bill)
30-25=5 (Mistake)
5-2=3 (Mistake - Tip)
3=1+1+1 (Remaining Money For Each)
But in reality they recieve 1 back they actually pay
9.33333... each, not 9.
Here is the math:
30 (Original Amount)
30-2=28 (Tip)
28/3=9.33333... (Actual Amount Payed Each)
That is it.

illusions and it's good puzzles... but there are some
things that I really don't like... and I shall expose them
now.
Of course, you all have noticed the card "trick." It is
exactly that - a trick. It is different suits, but same
colors, so everyone should just stop yelling at it, lol.
You're suppose to laugh and shrug it off, not scream at the
maker of the website!
Secondly, the 2 mind reading games - the first one, with
the "click yes or no" thing, it's the same outcome every
time, there's no way to win. And the second one with the
numbers - there are a certain group of numbers that you can
do this trick with, all can't be used. They've selected all
of the numbers you can do it with and put symbols next to
them and said "ooo" and "ahh" about it.
Third, in the "1=2" thing - the very first step to the
problem is wrong. It says that "X=Y!" And that alone is
wrong! X only equals X, and Y only equals Y. Saying
that "X=Y" is just like saying "1=2" which isn't true...
urgh.
Other than these things, I love this site, and your guys'
badmouthing isn't going to make me see it any different. So
there. :P From: viiviiiixxtsw@yahoo.com Date: Sun Oct 12 06:18:57 2003 URL: http://www.livejournal.com/users/viiviiiixxtsw Message: In the "1=2" thing, the very first step to the problem, it

was a Wednesday night, which meant the hotel had a
special: rooms were only $25. He had overcharged them $5!
He called the bellboy, gave him five one-dollar bills and
told him to return it to the men.
When the bellboy explained the situation to the men, they
were so pleased at the honesty of the establishment that
they promptly tipped the bellboy $2 of the $5 he had
returned and each kept $1 for himself.
So each of the three men ended up paying $9 (their
original $10, minus $1 back) totalling $27, plus $2 for
the bellboy makes $29.

simple. If you look carefully so will see a "icon" that is
constant all the way from top to bottom.... no matter what
number with two digits it will lead you to that "ICON" for
example after subracting 11-2=9, 22-4=18 , 31-4=27 and
so on "9" "18" "27 all have the same "icon". So in
general all the numbers in one row will equal the same
number 11-2=9 13-4=9 or 20-2=18 25-7=18 and so on up
the list.. Have fun

Here's how I see it.
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 -2(waiter)=28 -3(ladies)= 25(bill).
(where's the missing pound in this equation?) 10+10+10=30-
3=27-2=25 (or in this one!)
However, in an alternate universe 10+10+10 = 30-2(tip) =
28. (28 / 3 = 9.33333333... ) Each lady paid : 9.33.
Therefore 9.33 x 3 = 27.99 + 2 = 29.99 (yeah, that might

for every 'I win x' result there will be a corresponding 'I
lose x' result, and so each player's expected return will

I am not sure that the answer decribed at curiouser.co.uk
does conflict with the website you mention, although
admittedly the emphasis is different. The main point is
that the number of stars in the OBSERVABLE uninverse is
finite, not infinite, added to the fact that the universe
is expanding.
My principal source of information for this paradox was:
The Five Ages of the Universe by Fred Adams and Greg

You are WRONG. The paradox reads, "whoever has the most
money of the two has to give it to the other." In other
words, the one with the MOST money LOSES, not the other way
around.
There is an explanation, but not the one you give. From: Brad Wylie Date: Tue Aug 28 15:26:27 2001 URL: none Message: The wallet game paradox seems to have one assumption I
can't agree with. Both parties agree the chances of winning
are 50%, or equal. However: "Mr Straus reasons that, if he
loses, he will lose the money that he has in his wallet,
but, if he wins, he knows that he will win more than that
amount. What he stands to gain is greater that what he
stands to lose". His first assumption is false, if he wins,
he wins a sum of money inferiour to what he has already,
not "more than that amount". The last assumption is also
false: his "gains" are his total winnings minus his
wallet's contents. The remainder, his gain, must be less
than his wallet's contents (else he doesn't win). What he
stands to gain is what the other person has in their
wallet, a sum inferiour to what he has already, not greater.
Therefore, once his two incorrect statements are corrected,
his position is identical to that of Ms. Morris.

A man wanted to buy a shirt for $97 but he had no
money... so he borrowed 50 from a friend and another 50
from another friend, so he gets $3 change... now, he gives
one dollar to each of the two people he borrowed fifty
from, so he only needs to pay $49 to his friends. Remember
that he still has $1 with him... Now think about it... he
owes 49 to two friends so that would mean 49x2, which is
98, plus the dollar left with him which makes a total of
99, where did the other dollar go?

Shubham From: Peter Grave Date: Thu Dec 14 17:57:07 2000 URL: Message: On further consideration, I now think that, by changing the
scenario from neckties to wallets, you have made a
fundamental change to the underlying mathematics. Although
most people will not know *exactly* how much is in their
wallet, they will have some idea (especially if they're
running low and have made a mental note to call at the bank
a.s.a.p.), and this undermines the assumption that winning
and losing are equally likely.
To get the maths back in line with Kraitchik's original,
may I suggest that Professor Saunders provides the money
used in the experiment, rather than the students using
their own money. It's only hypothetical money so he can
afford to be generous. He ensures that the amounts are
unequal, but apart from that the students have no idea of
either the absolute or relative amounts in the wallets. The
wallets are given to the students at random, and there is
no paradox in the fact that the probability of Mr Straus's
wallet containing more that that of Ms Morris is exactly
0.5.
Straus's reasoning is fallacious and the paradox is
resolved by comparison with the following correct version:
Mr Straus reasons that, if he loses, it must be that the
wallet he is currently holding contains the larger amount
and hence he will lose the larger amount. But if he wins,
it must be because his wallet contains the smaller amount;
the other wallet contains the larger amount and hence he
will win the larger amount. What he stands to gain is equal
to what he stands to lose. So, if the assessment is based
solely on his mathematical expectation it doesn't matter
whether he choses to play or not - the two expectations are
the same (viz. half the total amount that Professor
Saunders donated).
But the concept of expectation is founded on the average
outcome of very many similar games. Although not explicitly
stated, the suggestion here is that they only get one go. I
think if I were in this position, I would choose not to
play, on the grounds that "a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush" (a guarantee of at least the smaller amount is
better than a 50% chance of the total). I have a feeling
there may be a contrary argument though.
From: Peter Grave Date: Thu Dec 14 17:56:11 2000 URL: Message: Comments: The Wallet Game paradox was new to me and I
decided to try to play by the rules, i.e. attempt to devise
an explanation myself before looking at the answer.
Having worked out what I believed to be the solution, I
then scrolled down, confidently expecting to find my answer
confirmed. I was *very* surprised to find that no solution
was given, and that Martin Gardner considered it to be
inexplicable. Since my solution is very, very simple, I'm
wondering if I have missed something? Anyway, here it is:
My method of attack is to assume an extreme situation to
clarify the problem; then make it less and less extreme
until the paradox resolves itself. From Ms Morris's point
of view, one extreme would be that she has withdrawn money
from the bank preparatory to buying a second-hand car and
she has £5000 in her wallet. The description of the game
says that if she wins she will more that double that, a
worthwhile and tempting sum. But the likelihood of winning
is very low; certainly way below 0.5. (Even if Mr Straus is
also buying a car, his might only cost £4995!) Conversely,
Ms Morris might be accompanied by her boyfriend, to whom
she has entrusted all her money for safe-keeping; therefore
she has no money in her wallet. In this latter case, either
the game is void (if Mr Straus also has nothing) or she is
guaranteed to win.
If we now start to move towards a more normal situation,
suppose Ms Morris has 1p in her wallet; now she is no
longer guaranteed to win but the probability that Mr Straus
has more than that is fairly high - say, 0.99. As Ms
Morris's portable wealth increases, so her chances of
winning decrease; we can't really quantify it but by the
time she gets to £5000, one might hazard a guess that her
chance of winning is about 0.001. At some point the
probability will be about 0.5 but it would be very rash to
guess where this point is.
I think this is probably based on the same principle as the
famous "life on Mars" paradox. If you haven't come across
this, it's in "Riddles in Mathematics" by Eugene P Northrop
(or e-mail me and I'll send you a résumé). I'm not sure if
this book is still in print; it was first published in 1944
and I've had my copy since the 60's. It's a good source of
paradoxes but it doesn't include my two favourites: the
Hempel paradox and the surprise test paradox, both of which
(coincidentally?) come from Sweden.
