61. Thanks for participating.
I read that turn-out is usually low. Biden is not my first choice, but I would be very happy to vote for him in Nov. if he succeeds.

The caucus is so unlike simply voting, that I would love to read a first-hand account when it's over. Will you do that?

68. Three men go to stay at a motel, and the man at the desk charges them $30.00 for a room.
They split the cost ten dollars each. Later the manager tells the desk man that he overcharged the men, that the actual cost should have been $25.00. The manager gives the bellboy $5.00 and tells him to give it to the men.

The bellboy, however, decides to cheat the men and pockets $2.00, giving each of the men only one dollar.

Now each man has paid $9.00 to stay in the room and 3 x $9.00 = $27.00. The bellboy has pocketed $2.00. $27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00 - so where is the missing $1.00?

69. Actually each man paid $9.33 1/3 (the 33 1/3 * 3 makes up the extra dollar)

72. ok smarty pants try this!
The farmer wants to get his goat, wolf and cabbage to the other side of the river. His boat isn't very big and it can only carry him and either his goat, his wolf or his cabbage. Now.....if he leaves the goat alone with the cabbage, the goat will gobble up the cabbage. If he leaves the wolf alone with the goat, the wolf will gobble up the goat. When the farmer is present, the goat and cabbage are safe from being gobbled up by their predators.

How does the farmer manage to get everything safely to the other side of the river?

76. Can the farmer stand in the boat and carry the cabbage?
Or hold the cabbage over the side of the boat? Or tie the cabbage to his head? (Or tie the cabbage to the wolf) That would make the answer easy, of course. I assume there is a trick to this.

77. I like the "tie the cabbage to the wolf"!
Here is the official answer-
The farmer must first take the goat across the river. He then returns and picks up the wolf. He leaves the wolf off and takes the goat back across the river with him. Then he leaves the goat at the starting point and takes the cabbage over to where the wolf is. He returns and picks up the goat, and then lands where the wolf and the cabbage are!
