Causing arguments this is

[MacAdder]

£30 plus the cost of the booze

Correct

[The Bloop]

Correct

I know - it wasn't a guess

[Glos Blue]

The answer is £100.

Any other answers are wrong.

[cyril evans awaydays]

yes but he still lost the booze and 30 so i stick with 200 JR

Just follow the four transactions using maths only

-100 + 100 - 70 - 30 = -100

[dembethewarrior]

For the purposes of the riddle I guess the wholesale price is irrelevant

And welcome to CCMB where everyone is trying to outsmart everyone

And you used to be able to get Iridh ones until the IRA stole millions of them one christmas eve

They changed the note for that particular bank. Believe it or not, I knew an accountant who tried laundering a couple of million of the c26m

if you went out to buy something from a shop for 100 and you lose that 100 it well cost you another 100 so u would have spent 200, that's my reason off thinking.

Seems to be exactly what has happened to you.

I thought this thread was about Man City tickets.

Would have been the first line of quite a few jokes back when I was in school.

You’re either on a wind up or incredibly thick 😂

Fuxking plastics calling him all week for man city tickets have fried his brain

[Wales-Bales]

No it's not

[uncle bob]

Yes it is

[Jeff Mansfield]

A lady walks into a store and steals a £100 quid note from the till without the owners knowledge.
She comes back 5 mins later and buys £70 of booze with the £100 note.
The owner gives her back £30 change.

How much did the owner lose?

A £30
B £70
C £100
D £130
E £170
F £200


I say £100 most say £200?

He first loses 100, then he gives her £70 worth of booze bought with his own money, then gives her 30. He has lost 200.

[bluethrough]

Can't believe that this is still causing confusion.

[J R Hartley]

[J R Hartley]

He first loses 100, then he gives her £70 worth of booze bought with his own money, then gives her 30. He has lost 200.

She gives him the £100 back when buying the booze so hes lost £100

[dembethewarrior]

He first loses 100, then he gives her £70 worth of booze bought with his own money, then gives her 30. He has lost 200.

"She buys 70 worth of booze"

[Richyrich]

£100

This thread makes you realise why a lot of people get ripped off.

I read somewhere the other day that Nottingham Forest scored 2 goal and conceded 2 goals...How many did they win by

[BLUETIT]

They either drew 2-2, lost 0-2 or 0-4, depending on if the 2 scored and 2 conceded were one and the same.

Wrong

[Eric the Half a Bee]

For those saying £30 + the wholesale value of the booze, what about taking into account the profit made on the booze had the owner been able to sell them from non-stolen money? Hasn't that profit also been stolen?

So £30 + profit margin (£70 - wholesale value of the booze) + wholesale value of the booze = £100.
