    Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives the bellboy $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to split among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totaling $27. The bellboy has another $2, adding up to $29.
    Where is the remaining dollar?

    The government took it...

    No, really, the paid $30, the manager refunded $5. They each recieved $1 for a total of $3. $30-3=$27. The Bellhop kept $2. $27-2=$25. Or $25+3=$28, plus the $2 the bellhop has = $30.

    The answer was actually a rug, but this one works too.

    A train leaves Cleveland at 7AM headed east at 77 MPH.
    At 8AM, a second train leaves Chicago headed west at 88 MPH.
    Which train is closest to Chicago when the two trains meet?

    The chair is moving, yet the cripple is sitting still :)

    But the cripple would still be in motion.

    So why are there only two trains that run on perfectly straight tracks that run parallel with the equator in your universes?

    Now that's a logic problem.

    Are you suggesting that a world exists outside of Missouri?

    What kind of wave can you throw?

    Edit: unless you can throw your voice, which is sound waves?
