Riddle

Thursday, Nick and Rick went to a restaurant for dinner. The bill came out to $27. Nick and Rick each paid $9…but then, who paid the remaining $9?

Choose an answer

A.The waiter covered it
B.They split it evenly, so no one else paid
C.Rick paid the extra amount himself
D.The guys' friend, Thursday, paid the remaining $9. This riddle wouldn't make any sense if I said, 'On Thursday, Nick and Rick…' anyway.
Hint: It's a 23-word phrase with 100 letters, starting with "T".

Answer

The guys' friend, Thursday, paid the remaining $9. This riddle wouldn't make any sense if I said, 'On Thursday, Nick and Rick…' anyway.

Why this is the answer

'Thursday' is actually the name of a third friend at dinner, not the day of the week, so Thursday paid the remaining nine dollars.
