In the digital age, where content spreads lik\u0435 wildfire,\n

it\u2019s no surprise that a simple math brain teaser has taken the internet by storm.\n

The $100 puzzle, which challenges users to figure out how much money a store\n

lost when a thief stole a $100 bill and then made a purchase, has racked\n

up millions of views and sparked intense debate among puzzle enthusiasts.\n

The brain teaser, which was sh\u0430r\u0435d on X (formerly Twitter) by an account called Out of Context Human Race,\n

presents a seemingly straightforward scenario. A man steals a $100 bill from a store\u2019s register,\n

then uses that same bill to buy $70 worth of goods, receiving $30 in change.\n

The question then asks, \u201cHow much money did the store lose?\u201d\n

As the brain teaser gained traction online, a multitude of responses flooded the comments section.\n

Some individuals confidently stated that the store lost $100, while others argued that the net loss\n

was actually $130, taking into account the stolen $100 and the $30 in change. A few even suggested\n

that the store\u2019s overall loss depended on the profit margins of the individual transactions.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
