Does anyone know the answer to this riddle?
A man bought a horse for $20 and gave in payment a cheque for $30. The horsedealer persuaded a shopkeeper to change the cheque for him, and the buyer, having received his $10 change, rode off on the horse and was not seen again. Later the cheque was found to be valueless, and the horsedealer had to refund the shopkeeper the amount he had received. The horsedealer had himself bought the horse for $10. How much did the horsedealer lose altogether?
