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.

 add what one person HAS to what someone else has PAID and
 come up with any kind of a meaningful number, you have to
 subtract.
 Each man has paid $9.
 The bellhop has $2.
 Difference
  $9 x 3 = $27
  2
 $25
 
 The hotel clerk has the other 25 dollars.
 To look at it from the standpoint of the original $30. Each
 man has $1.
 The bellhop has $2.
 The hotel clerk has $25.
 Total
  $1 x 3 = $3
 2

 could be the only stationary object in the universe, and
 all other objects move in around and about it... just like
 when you spin in a chair with your hand out(or how the
 Earth is orbiting the sun and we don't notice), your hand
 looks like it is staying still, and everything else is
 spinnning, when in reality, you are the one spinning and
 everything else is staying still... because we have way of

Message:  The Missing £1 paradox. This is a swindle in that the
 waiter gives back £3 so each lady pays £9. £9 times 3
 equals 27, which is the cost of the meal £25 + £2 which the
 waiter took. The remaining £3 was given back to the three
 ladies by the waiter so £27 + £3 equals the original £30.

Message:  The paradox about the missing pound: Originally, the
 check was for 30 pounds and then 5 pounds is
 returned making their check now 25. He gives 1 back to
 each of the ladies, we automatically assume they now
 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

 Actually, when the ladies paid £9 each, the £9 include the
 food as well as the tips.Isn't it.So there is no point of
 arguing about £9each x 3 + £3 as tips.The £3 tips is
 already included in the £9 bill......

Message:  what about this in the "word paradox". It says "But if
 heterogeneous is heterogeneous, then it does describe
 itself and must therefore be homogeneous. But if it is
 homogeneous, it does not describe itself...in which case
 it must be heterogeneous, and so ad infinitum.
 ".
 
 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
 itself, then it's not homogeneous (cant belong to
 homogeneous, therefore it's heterogeneous).
 
 Any comments? (drop me an email please xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

Message:  In the missing pound paradox, you can not combine what
 someone doesn't have with what someone does have. Think
 of it like this. Each woman now has one pound (assuming
 they each had only ten to begin with). That's 3. Plus
 the 25 in the register, plus the 2 in the waiter's
 pocket. 30 pounds, and it is solved.

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.

 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

 If they hadn't left a tip, each man would have paid $8.33
 ($25/3). Where are the other five dollars out of the
 thirty? Back in their pockets. They gave a tip of two
 dollars. So each man paid $9. There is no "thirty

Message:  what the answer to the "where's the missing dollar"
 riddle? Three men decided to split the cost of a hotel
 room. The hotel manager gave them a price of $30.
 
 The men split the bill evenly, each paying $10, and went
 to their room. However, the hotel manager realized that 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.
 SOMEONE PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE

Message:  I know the code on the "magic mind reader box" it is
 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

Message:  Regarding the missing pound idea... Intersting mindtrap.
 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
 be your missing pound!)

  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

 arranged numerically in a left to right order, as if they

 it is still a solution. In fact it is a solution of

 this were the case, the puzzle certainly didn't say the men
 of the town didn't shave others, or even that "all who
 don't shave themselves" means "all the men of the town."
 Even a woman or a neighboring towns' member, if not the
 barber himself, may shave the barber. This is certainly

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.

 one dollar to each of the two people he borrowed fifty
 from, so he only needs to pay $49 to his friends. Remember

  on, dropped 7 off at York road, picked 5 up and dropped 11
 off in
  torre road, dropped 3 off at the church, picked up 6 in
 front of
  Safeway's, dropped 19 off and picked up 2 in roundhay
 road. Then
  got stuck in traffic on Westminster Avenue causing you to
 arrive
  back at the bus station 6 minutes late. What would be the
 name of
  the bus driver? A= I know but do you??
 
 I have more if you would like them

Message:  hi, Rob. Great job on those puzzles! I especially liked
 the "Chess for Non-Players" and the "Liar Test". I'll bet
 you'll never figure out how I used Quantum Mechanic's
 parity operators to solve both of those problems! :)
 
 I disagree with the scoring on the 'F' Test...Guess who
 counted 6? :)
 
 However, I'll have to admit that I do not understand your
 rope trick at all. After trying for about 15 minutes, I
 gave up and read your solution. Guess what? I still
 couldn't figure it out.

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.

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.
