    Here are 3 puzzles that will whip your ass by yours truly.

    1) While walking through a market on vacation, you notice a small stand selling cameras. A camera-and-case set is selling for 310$. The seller tells you that the camera costs 300$ more than the case itself and that the case costs more than the price of the set minus the cost of the camera.

    You decide you'd rather wait on buying a camera and opt to just buy the case alone. you hand the man 100$ and you see his eyes light up. Think fast now! HOW MUCH CHANGE SHOULD YOU BE GETTING BACK?

    2) Your friend just got back from the post office where she purchased a sheet of stamps with values ranging from .1 to 1.00$.

    First your friend cut out the 1.00% stamp and set it aside. Then she divided the remaining stamps into seven uniquely chaped bunches, each with a total value of 1.00$

    Can you divide this sheet of stamps the same way your friend did?

    .1 .2 .1 .6 x( the cut out 1 dollar) answer it by either making the

    .2 .5 .3 .2 .1 diagram and putting the lines with

    .1 .3 .1 .3 .2 color or like 1 2 2 2

    .8 .2 .9 .1 .4 1 3 3 4 4

    .1 .7 .1 .3 .1 1 1 5 4 4 etc etc

    3) Here you have a set of small paper cards. on each card is a single letter, but one of the cards is missing its letter. What letter belongs on the blank card and explain how you got it.

    O T T F _

    S S E N T

    each letter is on a card.

    cant be right because:

    that the case costs more than the price of the set minus the cost of the camera.

    if set = $310, camera = $305, and case = $5, then that's not the case because:

    (price of set) - (price of camera) < (price of case)

    won't be true

    that's as far as i got before quitting

    For number 3 I did this. not sure why but it seems logical to me.

    I arranged the following letters like this: O T T F T

    N S S E _

    This makes each letter on the top row, the letter after the one on the bottom. Since there is a third T it does not get paired and added at the end. Following this logic, the letter in the blank would have to be S.

    My answer is S.

    UPON REVIEW:

    I think darkpoker wrote the problem wrong and the case costs $5, so you get $95 back.

    I did not write any wrong and for number 3 they all have to be unique shapes and cant be same shape of 1 dollar bunches

    ^^ your on right track, but you have 2 l shaped 3 boxers so it is incorrect.

    yes, you did. number one is from the puzzle game "Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village", and goes:

    While walking through a market on vacation, you notice a small stand selling cameras. A camera-and-case-set is selling for $310. The seller tells you that the camera costs $300 more than the case itself and that the case costs the price of the set minus the cost of the camera.

    You decide that you’d rather wait on buying a camera and opt to just buy the case alone. You hand the seller a $100 bill and see his eyes light up. Think fast now! How much change should you be getting back?

    <span>"I must've put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Shit, I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail."</span>

    10 cents. 1 dollar. what's the difference?
