A man steals $100 from a store, then returns and uses that same $100 to buy $70 worth of merchandise, receiving $30 in change. So how much did the store actually lose? The answer is **$100**: the stolen bill returns to the register, while the store ultimately gives away $70 in products and $30 in cash. The trick is that many people accidentally count the original $100 twice, making this seemingly simple puzzle surprisingly confusing.
