Mr. Riddles

Quizmaster,

I admit, I am not happy with myself for getting that answer wrong, however, I did correctly state the order of operations… I just didn’t listen to myself.

I hate to admit that you impressed me in anyway. Therefore, I say that you cheated on the riddle. Also, the riddle is harder when spoken than when read. You are correct though. The math adds up when thought about it
correctly. (of course it is a riddle so the point of it is to confuse you with the whole 27 plus 2 isn’t 30).

The fact that they all paid 27 is actually incorrect. If they all paid 30 and 5 was taken away to be given back to them. Then at that point in time, they technically all paid 8.33. So, 8.33 plus the dollar back from the bellboy is 9.33. 9.33 times three is 28 plus the 2 that the bell boy kept is 30. Just another way to look at it. Even though what you said is totally right.

I don’t like your shot at my credibility. You must provide me with at least one more chance to prove my worth. I stick by my original statement: I am good with numbers. I get annoyed when people can’t figure out how much to tip or have to use a calculator (or some app) to figure it out.

This riddle is from a book. If you’ve read it, then I might really be impressed. If you haven’t read it, but figure it out (without cheating… cheater) then mediocre awe will follow. If you can’t figure it out, well then you are but a common female.

Princess MoMo:

Let’s get something straight; I am not inclined to proceed with “impressing” you. In your opening message, you misspelled grammar and made an unsubstantiated claim of being better than I am with numbers. After that, you failed to correctly solve an equation composed of four single digit numbers, all the while gloating at how impressed I should be with you and highlighting your degree in math. Then, you offered a nonsensical riddle for me to “solve.” Displeased that I answered in a plausible way, you made baseless accusations that I cheated. Finally, you solicited more riddle-related information from me so that, in your view, I may distinguish myself. I will not continue “impressing” you when you have not reciprocated. I am convinced of my status as more than the common female and am not in want of your seal of approval. Best of luck riddling your way into an impressive female’s heart.

I leave you with a poem:
Roses are red; violets are blue.
Riddles and talk of impressing,
will not convince me to date you.
Step up your skills with numbers and words,
until then, this sh*t is for the birds.
