Unfortunately, Discedo, I seem to have very little to offer regarding pleasant conversation topics, so have another riddle or two, instead~

1 | Two fathers and two sons sat down to eat eggs for breakfast. They ate exactly three eggs, each person had an egg. How is this possible?

2 | Three lawyers rent a hotel room for the night. When they get

1. There is a grandfather who is a father to the father who is the father to the son. Three people.

3. Three apples.

4. None, because then you would not have an empty basket.

5. Once, because then it is no longer thirty.

6. "e"

8. Age.

9. US? What currency is that?

10. Meat.

[holyjesusbeams]

Your answers are correct, save for 4. It has the same answer as 5, for similar reasons.

The US probably no longer exists in your world. It is a country like Japan, only on the northern continent of the opposite hemisphere. To quote the explanation I gave to another regarding the question: "a dollar is a paper bill representing 100 cents, and 'change' refers to coins that represent 1, 5, 10, and 25 cents. In other words, what is the highest sum one can make from values of 1, 5, 10, and 25 without the sum of any combination within making an even 100."

It would no longer be an empty basket, correct? It's just wording.

It may never have existed. What continent is it on? And I see... It's simple math. Wouldn't it be three of the 25 amount, 4 of the 10 amount, and 4 of the single amount?

Placing something into an empty basket means it is only empty prior to the placement. Therefore, one.

North America. And yes, that is correct.

1. A grandfather, a father, and his son~
3. Three~
5. [Have some finger-counting] Five?
6. The letter 'e'?
10. Meat, as determined by his job.

Ah, I believe many of the ones involving numbers are quite beyond me, but I'm glad I was able to answer some of these this time around. Or at least, I believe I have.

[holyjesusbeams]

All of your answers were correct save for the answer to 5, which is only once. After that, the number is no longer 30.

[nomnomguts]

Ah... I see. And I suppose number four has a similar sort of solution?

[holyjesusbeams]

Indeed.

1. It's three generations. A grandfather, a father, and a son.

2. That calculation is wrong. They each received more than a dollar when the money was refunded, and gave some of it towards the bellhop's tip.

3. ...Three.

4. Put any in, and it's not empty anymore. So the answer is probably one.

5. Once.

6. The letter E.

7. ...I don't know.

8. Age.

9. $1.19

10. Meat.

[screened]

[holyjesusbeams]

All correct. Would you like to think more on 7 and venture a guess?

[screened]

[refracted_green]

...I don't know. Does it have to do with something other than the numerical values themselves? Is the seven different from the twelve in some other way?

1 Granfather, father and grandchild/son. Two fathers and two sons, but only three people.
2 They calculated it wrong.
3 You said I took three so three?
4 To make it NOT empty, then just one.
5 Same as 4, once.
6 The letter e.
7 Roman numerals. I'm sure you already know what I mean. This would be hard if I didn't already encounter this before.
8 Someone's age...normally
9 $1.19. 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies. I might be wrong though, I've never been to America.
10 He's a butcher so meat.

The only good one here is 7.

[screened]

[holyjesusbeams]

All correct. Quite the cross-section of logical skill I'm seeing, I must say~

I'm curious, though! What do you mean by "normally"?

Re: [screened]

[migi_ude]

Or maybe your puzzles are just too easy. Like I said, the only challenging one is 7.

There are creatures that don't age, of course, and then there are those who argue that if the world revolves backwards, we'll all grow younger instead of older.

Forgive me for overestimating you.

Hm, I suppose so.
