TWCP OTD (The Who Cares Puzzle Of The Day) - 20th of February, 2017

LOST One took a $100 bill from the register without being noticed. After that he collected goods worth $70 and payed with the stolen bill... The cashier - unaware of the theft - gave back the $30 change. How much was actually stolen from the shop?
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
I can't remember whose face is on the $100 bill, so I can't answer in a fitting manner.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

It can't be Benjamin Franklin, because someone said it in a bulletin board on the Internet. If [edit] you're Peter is [/edit] not counting funds returned to the store as non-stolen, which [edit] your Peter's [/edit] phrasing implies, it's $200.

Half of the answer is 21. Do you want that converted to Euro from 1924 Reichsmarks, or 1980s Italian Lire?

I'd say 170$. 100$, as 70$ return to the shop but other 70$ in goods go away. They cancel each other out. 100 were of the shop to begin with. 70 is the value of the goods the thief took, without paying good money. The change doesn't count as it affects only the implementation of the money exchange.

I said converted to; that's nothing to do with what collectors might pay.

Ah, but there was nothing about the money being given back being counted as non-stolen. 0. He stole $11 Amount stolen = $100 1. He paid for goods with stolen money, from which he got change; i.e. he stole $100-worth of goods and change. Amount stolen = $100 Total amount stolen = $200 You have to remember the devious mind of the question-setter.

By definition the $100 was "stolen money" - giving it to the shop to pay for goods does not make it any less stolen Basically he stole $100, used stolen money to pay for the goods, and got change of $30 from money that was never his. The $100 was stolen, the goods were not paid for using his money, the change was received on money not his. Using stolen money even at the place you stole it from does not make it batter. "two wrongs do not make a right?" How much was actually stolen from the shop? NOT: How much did the thief get away with. Even though the cash register is only out $100 the total theft (by definition of theft and by law) was $200, add in the crime of using ill gotten proceeds - 3 strikes - he's down. It's English people, learn proper use of your language.

Nothing was stolen from the shop, but $100 was stolen from The Register: Sci/Tech News for the World[^] (Although how One managed that I do not know!)
