My Brain Hurts


Not literally, but from trying to solve some of these games in the Puzzles forum. Here are a few, but these are probably not recommended for thinking impaired or those with a time crunch.

(Shehzad-where is one rupee) 3 friends went out to buy a book, they purchased the book for 30 rupees(10 rupees to each friend), when they left the shop the seller realized that the book price was 25. so he sent his servant to return 5 rupees to the friends as he knew them, servant kept 2 rupees with him, and returned 1 rupee to each of the 3 friends.

now each friend spent 9 rupees and servant has 2 rupees, which counts 29 rupees so where is the rupee.


Does anybody get this answer? I thought I was doing pretty good at being "Mr. Genius" until I ran into some other puzzles which made me look really silly.

This "Who is Taller??" puzzle (by Vivek) has me stumped while this "tennis puzzle" (by Manan) is way beyond me.

If their are any geniuses in the house who can explain the solution to any of these, let me know.
