The Missing Dollar Problem
Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs $75
Each one contributed $25. The waiter took the bill to the cashier.
The cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of
$5 and asked the waiter to return them $5.
Now the waiter was confused. How to distribute $5 among 3
persons?
He kept $2 in his pocket and gave $1 to each one
of the 3 persons. So initially each one had contributed
$25. Now as they are Given $1 back, their contribution
reduces to $24. They all contributed $24. ie
24x3=72 and 2 dollors are in the waiters pocket.
The total becomes $74. But they had paid $75.
Where is the remaining $1?

The Prisoner
A prisoner is faced with a decision where he must open one of two
doors. Behind each door is either a lady or a tiger. They may be
both tigers, both ladies or one of each.
If the prisoner opens a door to find a lady he will marry her and
if he opens a door to find a tiger he will be eaten alive.
Of course, the prisoner would prefer to be married than eaten alive.
Each of the doors has a sign bearing a statement that may be
either true or false. The statement on door one says,
"In this room there is a lady, and in the other room there is a tiger."
The statement on door two says, "In one of these rooms there is a
lady, and in one of these rooms there is a tiger."
The prisoner is informed that one of the statements is true
and one is false.
