I have this one but I dare say others having had a go at answering this one will have their own puzzles, conundrums etc to add.
Here goes:-
How smart are you? A lady goes into a shop and steals a £100 note from the till without the owners knowledge. She comes back five minutes later and buys £70 of goods with the £100 note. The owner gives £30 change .
How much did the owner lose?
A. £30
B.£70
c. £100
D £130
E. £170
F £200

What is a word, of 13 letters, beginning and ending in "m" which means constipation? ???
Ron.

That's actually spelt with an 'N' Ron, and if I've not been for a few days, can be spelled with over 50 letters ;D

Post up just your answer for now.
later we can have the clever guys explaining why £70 is wrong and it should be £70 less the trade cost of the items ;D ;D ;D

Stemo, you are obviously even more full of sh!t than me! ;D
Ron.

Doesn't the answer depend on what the goods she bought are? Specifically if she 'bought' the printing press that the shopkeeper printed the £100 note on, in which case she's cost the shopkeeper many tens of thousands when he could have been printing virtually limitless fake notes.
Or are we in Scotland where £100 notes alegedly exist - just like Nessie and flying Haggis.

No the notes are real. Call it dollars , euros . Gives same answer.
Don't over think it. :y

So she's 'bought' £70 with a stolen $100 note and got £30 in change? In which case none of the answers are correct. ;D

C.....the till now has the £100 back in it but is down £30 and £70 of goods.
The loss may be tax deductible though as it will impact earnings....

only the 'p' is silent, so a word like knife would be much more common.
