Centre not center and the hooded figures position is irrelevant , the question is.
A third question where you may need to dim the lights to envisage the true scene of what is depicted in the following passage…
A weary traveller reaches a windswept mountain pass over which a rickety bridge is utilised as the only viable means of progression. Standing in the middle of the pass a lone human figure stands enshrouded in a black cloak clutching a scythe.. to the left of the traveller next to the cloaked figure is a signet ring with the inscription “grand dad ” lying in in the dust , to the right a weather beaten saddle lies barely visible in the ever mounting accumulation of dirt/debris swept in by the harsh bitter wind with scattered bones lying nearby.
As the traveller approaches the sinister cloaked figure points a bony hand to the pile of scattered bones on the floor to its immediate left and a rasping male voice begins to speak..”Traveller,to pass you must answer one simple question…Brothers and sisters I have none, but that mans father, is my fathers son”
Assuming everything stated above is correct,What relation is the pile of bones to the cloaked figure
A ) Grand son
B ) Son
C ) Father
D ) Grandfather
E ) The former pet donkey
F ) No relation, the hooded figure was quite possibly a fan of necrophiliaAn easier way to answer it would be to split the question in two parts.
1) How much has the shopkeeper lost after 100 dollars has been nicked from the till
2) How much has the shopkeeper lost after accepting 70 dollars for 70 dollars worth of goods
Clearly the answer to part 1) is $100 and the answer to part 2) is 0 making total losses $100
The second part of the question is a normal business transaction with no losses other than the original £100 stolen.

Following on from the last question, I have another logic question which people may or may not be interested in. I know the answer as I suspect most will but will ask it anyway..
A lady walks in the store and steals £100 from the till without the cashiers knowledge. She comes back 5 minutes later and purchases £70 worth of goods from the store with the same £100 she stole getting £30 change – so how much did the owner lose?
A) £30
B) £70
c) £100
D) £130
E) £170
F) £200
Enjoy your free drink!
It was done more for the challenge than the free drink but given I can normally do these things with ease question whether it was just a random failure on my part or early dementia is setting in lol. You have an impressive logical thought process to be able to work something out so quickly.
It was the continual alteration in multiplying and adding which I couldn’t get. You have gone someway to restoring my faith in human nature Mister Q
1 +1 =2 2 x 3=6 6+5=11 11 x 7 =77 77 +9 =86 86 x 11 = 946
Think you’re right , I doff my metaphorical cap to you .. very impressive

add a prime number then times it
What prime number are you adding ?
Needless to say, the only person likely to be able to answer is possibly drac so for once surprise me and lets have a display of intelligence on this site instead of random crap about the cat sitting on the mat in the poetry club or feeling guilty about not doing your dads garden living at home mid 30s. 86 multiplied by 11 is clearly 946 yet the 11 is 2 places to the left instead of just the 1.
Help in the garden? You’re in your 30s, you should have your own garden, own house and own life at that age. I don’t know if you live with parents but anyone over 25 that is living with mum and dad is a far bigger worry than how any funeral will go. I suspect many parents are more concerned with thinking when will the bastard finally move out so we can enjoy retirement than how tall the hyacinths are in the garden.
