    0 because cigars don't have butts, since the butt of a cigarette is the filter and cigars don't have filters.
    I'm not coming at you, I'm asking how did u come up with that answer, I'm just saying

    Hint : 74466666338444222

    wait, the real answer is 6, because if he collects 25, then 25 divided by 5 is 5, but since a bud will fall from each cigar HE makes it will make one more therfore he smokes 6 cigars.

    Check the first page (but my understanding of the riddle may be horribly wrong and 6 may be the wrong answer XD )

    ANSWER: THE HOBO WILL BE ABLE TO SMOKE 24 cigar butts

    25 cigar butts divided in to 5 = 5 cigars ---> then, the 5 cigar butts fall of of the 5 cigars he made

    Which makes another cigar, that he smokes and leaves 1 cigar butt behind

    Hope this is the right answer

    Please reply

    Thanks
    You would have won! You had the answer in your post! But you said your answer was 24!
    "25 cigar butts divided in to 5 = 5 cigars ---> then, the 5 cigar butts fall of of the 5 cigars he made

    If he has 25 and smokes them and loses a butt from each. That's 5 cigars. Then he smokes those 5 and gets 5 Cigar butts. Which makes one more, which is 6! Aww, Sorry.

    This is the same riddle my dad told me like 1027389 times... It's just that it was a Vietnamese version and this is Russian lol...

    If practice makes perfect and perfection is impossible, why practice?
    Oh, wait... No need to practice. iHax.

    Listen in your riddle yor question was
    "How many butts will he be able to smoke??"

    the hobo doesn't smoke ANY butts, he makes cigars out of the butts.
    so the correct answer should be zero.

    The answer CANT be 6 because those are CIGARS he smoked, he smoked 6 cigars
    and ur question was how many butts?

    either that or it was designed to never have a winner to this contest cuz its FLAWED

    JackOak didn't provide an English translation, only the Russian, the translation someone else provided wasn't an accurate interpretation...I based my answer off of a different translation

    The correct answer should be 24

    He can make 5 cigars

    The one butt falls off of each cigar

    Which makes another cigar

    But after he smokes that one, a butt falls off

    Which means he can smoke all of them, except for 1

    It can be 6, because u asked HOW MANY BUTTS

    and, on the 6th cigar, a butt will fall off

    Which makes 24 cigar butts

    reply to this jack, I wanna see your opinion

    Thanks and have a nice day
