A Lawyer Riddle

A lawyer at Allen Makins has a brother who is a paralegal at Morrison & Forester. However, the paralegal at Morrison & Forester doesn’t have a brother who is a lawyer at Allen Makins. Why not?

Or

A Password Riddle

A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.

What should have he said?

Finally

Where did the other Dollar Go?

Three men check into a hotel, the manager charges them $30 for one room with three beds which they share. The men go to their room and settle in, after a few moments the manager realizes his mistake, he over charged the three men, the room rate was only $25. He sends for the bellhop to return the $5 to the three men.

On his way to the room the bellhop realizes that he can't split $5 between 3 men so he decides to give each man $1 and pocket the remaining $2 as a tip. The bellman returns the $1 to each man. In the three men's minds they each paid $9 for the room, or a total of $27, include the $2 tip the bellhop kept and that equals $29, what happened to the other dollar?

There is no other dollar. The men think they paid $9 each based on the original $30. They actually paid 28 dollars ($30 minus the $2 tip).

Although the lawyer may be at Allen Makins, he doesn't necessarily work there.

Right?

Doh! I guess JeepFreak21 has the "correct" answer, but technically, the way the riddle is worded, I could be right too.:laugh3:

I stared at this for HOURS on end trying to figure it out. I did, but I still really can't comprehend it. It's just freakin weird, and whoever developed it really has some mind on him/her.

Your explanation is dead wrong. They paid 27. The bellhop has 2 dollars, that's the difference between the rate and what they paid.

(According to each man, they paid 10, then got back 1 dollar - good, $9. If we look at the actual rate, it was 8 1/3 dollars, and each tipped the bellhop 2/3 of a dollar).
