Blind Spot
Solve this!!! Numerical Illusion
The Thompson triplets were sitting around thinking about their birds.
They decided that they would go to the petshop
to buy a new pair for the aviary.
They checked their wallets and found that they only had $10 each.
So they took their $30 to the petshop.
They met a salesman who told them he had a pair of birds for sale for $30.
So they gave him $30 and took the birds.
However, when the salesman went in the back of the store
he realized that the price was supposed to be $25.
So he ran back outside to give them their $5 back.
But when he realized they had each paid $10
he didn't want to make it confusing so he only gave them $1 back each
and he kept the other two dollars for himself.
OK, let's recap. They paid $10 each which is $30 total.
The salesman gave them back $1 each and he kept $2 for himself.
So they actually spent $10 each minus $1 each.
Which means they spent $9 each.
9 X 3 = $27,
The salesman kept $2.
That's a total of $29.
Where's the other dollar?
Don't give up. You can work it out. ( Or maybe not )
