That is correct. I put enough coffee in the basket to make 6 cups and I put a little hot water in each cup.

I had to grid it out but came up with the German





Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the missing $1?

Indeed, it is The German

They each paid $9 - totaling $27
The room was only $25 plus $2 for the bellboy - totaling $27

There is no missing dollar. There is 25 dollars of their original money in the till, 2 dollars in the bell boy's pocket, and three dollars returned to the guests. 25 plus 2 plus 3 equals 30.
The Red Herring in this one is "Now each person...paid 9 dollars each", which throws everyone off.

I'll answer yes or no to questions on this one.

You're hiking through the forest when you encounter a cabin. Inside the cabin are two dead men. How did they die?

Were they shot?

In a room you have a candle, an oil lamp, and wood in a fireplace, but you only have one match. What do you light first?

[Dubyagee]

The match

[Dubyagee]

You can not see me,
I have no breath,
I come before Life,
I come after Death.

You remember me once,
but you forget me again.
All will have me,
but they wont know when.

What am I?
