Riddle me

Riddle me

I Love Riddles so I thought I would start this post

 

OK here we go

What runs but never walks and never stands still

 

This next one is not a Riddle as such but fun

Three men walk into a hotel and ask for a room the room is £30 Pounds so each person gives £10.00 and the bell boy shows the men to their room.

The bell boy returns to the front desk where the manager tell him he’s made a mistake the rooms have a special deal on the rooms are only £25.00 for the night well on the way to the room with the £5.00 the bell boy thinks how can I split this £5.00 between three people.

 

The bell boy decides to give each person £1.00 back so they have only paid £9.00 each for the room and keep £2.00 for himself.

The Riddle to this story is there is a POUND missing if you do the maths

3x9=27 plus the two pound the bell boy has is only £29.00

    Time

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
  • It is a river

    no Verdun

    each person has had a pound given back and the bell boy has two pound that makes the five pound difference

    3X9=27 +bell boys two Pounds = 29 pounds

    It's just the way it's add up

    James Verdum and KEF thank you for the comments on the blog can I add them so people can see them ??
