Left A-Loan
Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
A man comes up to you and hands you $1000 in cash. He then says:
"Now, don't spend it all, because I'm going to go off and find the largest integer, and after I find it, I'm going to want you to give me $1 back."
Given this stipulation, how much money has he *really* given you?
Answer
$1000.
He's off to find the largest integer, so he's NEVER going to come back for that dollar.

| It was a good teaser but far too easy you should have said:
"Im going to return for the dollar when i find the largest integer in the world" |

| That's a digit.
I'm not sure what we were supposed to be tricked into thinking. |

| Some people would answer $999 since he'll be coming back eventually. That is, until one realizes that there is no largest integer, so he'll never be coming back. |
