There were 3 travelers, who checked into a hotel for the night. One of them asked the clerk how much the stay would be, and the clerk replied: "$10 each, or $30 for the three of you."
So, each traveler gave the clerk a ten-dollar bill to total $30 for their stay.
The clerk thought a moment and said, "So sorry. I told you wrong. There is a $4 discount for three guests. The cost of the room will only come to $26 dollars, so he gave each of them $1 back, and they agreed to let him keep a dollar for himself, since he could not divide the dollar evenly among the three guests.
All were glad to get the discount, but one of them said: "We gave you a total of $30 to begin with, but since you gave each of us a dollar back, that means that we each paid you a total of $9 each, for a sum of $27. We let you keep $1.00 for yourself, so that is a total of $28.00. My question to you is: where are the other $2.00?"

If you could chose one of the following (and the other two become unavailable automatically)
1. Wealth (infinite riches)
2. Knowledge (infinite wisdom)
3. Life (immortality)
Which would you chose?

If you were to facilitate communications with an alien species that created series of colors and scents to speak how would you go about it? They do have a written language of course.
