It takes 80 minutes to walk from A-B, 80 minutes to walk from B-C and 1 hour 20 minutes from C-A.

 

Why does it take 1 hour 20 minutes to walk from C-A if the distances between each point are the same and you are travelling at the same speed?

 

(an easy one to get started, its taken people ages to work this out , I will give it 4 minutes in this thread)

 

80 mins = 1 hr 20 mins

What four letter word can be written forward, backward or upside down, and can still be read from left to right?

The name of which vehicle is a palindrome? 

[Guest Kopfkino]

Different kind of riddle but this did the rounds earlier in the year and created much discussion:

 

A guy walks into a store and steals a $100 bill from the register without the owner's knowledge.
He then buys $70 worth of goods using the $100 bill and the owner give $30 in change.

How much money did the owner lose ?

 

It seemed pretty simple to me til I was aware of the discussions. Seems to rely on what assumptions you make.

Not sure whether you mean the owner gives or is given

$30 in change but if so then he's lost $99,999,999,970

The owner loses $30 in cash plus the value of the goods (nominally $70); since there will have been a mark up on what the owner paid for the goods, the value of the goods will have been less $70 (unless of course it was a 'loss leader', in which case it could be more).
