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 :)

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

Why you coming at me bro? Others have guesses as high as 42 and as low as 5, but I was only +1 of your guess. Strange is all.

0 because cigars don't have butts, since the butt of a cigarette is the filter and cigars don't have filters.

Cheap ones have this plastic thingy.

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

lol how about this:

The hobo makes cigars out of the cigar butts.....
he doesn't actually smoke the butts
therefore the answer is zero he smokes zero cigar butts!!!

Zero! He doesnt have a lighter or a match xD

02-24-2012, 12:42 AM
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.

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

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 :)

deziira
02-24-2012, 02:01 PM
what translation did you get?

Inflammed
02-24-2012, 03:37 PM
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 :)

Inflammed stop double and triple posting, and stop being a troll

First of all, I can post how much I want, and second, I'm just wondering...

I overlooked it in my head head over and over and can't figure out how that's the right answer

I'm not being a troll, I'm just concerned if there wasn't a mistake

I'm happy for roc, not mad

Anyway, it's over now, if u have something against me, tell me in a private message
