    Default Contest!!

    CONTEST CLOSED

    So the ANSWER was: 6, he makes 5 originals from the 25 butts he found, and after he smokes them he has 5 butts left for another cigar.

    Deziira, you're wrong and don't go making accusations about something when you have no clue what you're talking about. I asked how many Cigars he could smoke. Not how many butts he would have, etc. The answer is 6. So quit complaining because you didn't win.

    Simple math shows: 25/5 = 5 and 5/5 = 1

    5+1 = 6 OMFG NO WAY! Mind=Blown

    And this was the riddle just so you can see how wrong you are: Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many cigars will he be able to smoke?

    Here is the sentence:

    Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many butts will he be able to smoke?

    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

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

    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.

    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

    None! Because you cant smoke the cigar butts because you cant even smoke it when you are smoking a full cigar

    25 because the cigar is made up of butts, so if you could smoke one you could smoke all of them
