But that reasoning ignores the fact that the stolen $100 eventually returned to the register when the thief used it to make the purchase.
In the end, the store is missing only:
- $70 worth of merchandise
- $30 in cash
Which equals $100 total loss.
That’s why this puzzle is so clever. It isn’t testing advanced math—it tests whether you’re tracking the money correctly.
Did you get $100 on your first try, or did this riddle fool you too? 👇😄
