You don't need to lower yourself to stealing. You're smart enough to figure out the fuse thing. I always thought I was a pretty smart guy and I still don't see how burning the other end of the fuse after the first one goes out gives you 15 mins.

OK, here's one for ya.
Three guys go to a hotel and the price is $30 (Apparently a cheap hotel). They pay $10 each. The hotel manager realizes that he over charged them. It should have been only $25. He gives the bell boy the five dollars to give back to the men he overcharged. This bell boy is not smart enough to divide the $5 between 3 people. (He'll never be promoted to bell man). Anyway, he give each of the men $1 each and keeps $2 for himself.

So, each man originally paid $10, got $1 back so they paid $9.
3 x $9 = $27
Plus the $2 the bell boy kept makes $29.
What happened to the missing dollar?
