A man wants to enter an exclusive club, but he doesn't know the password. Another man walks to the door and the doorman says 12, the man says 6, and is let in. Another man walks up and the doorman says 6, the man says 3, and is let in. Thinking he had heard enough, he walks up to the door and the doorman says 10, he says 5, and he isn't let in. What should he have said?

Three people check into a room. The bill is $30. They split it 3 ways. Later on the hotel realizes they should have charged $25 so they send a bellhop to return $5. The bellhop realizes he can't split $5 3 ways to he gives each person $1 and keeps $2. They have now paid $9 each for the room, the bellhop has $2. $27 + $2 = $29 What happened to the last $1 considering $30 was originally paid.

Two fathers and their two sons go fishing together. They each catch one fish to take home with them. They do not lose any fish, and yet when they arrive at home they only have three fish. How can this be?

The man should have said 3. Here's why: The word "twelve" have 6 letters, so you say 6. The next man said three because "six" has three letters in it. The word "ten" has 3 letters in it, so you're supposed to say 3. Not 5.

Duh. The girl is 11 because her LAST birthday was 10 and the NEXT birthday is 12. 11 - 1 = 10 and 11 + 1 = 12.

2nd and second-to-last answer?

2nd riddle answer:

The bellhop has $2. This $2 is covered by the $27 paid by the guests. Don't add it to the $27. The guests have had $3 in total returned to them. $30 - $3 = $27 (of which $2 is the bellhops).
