    This riddle is alittle misleading,... the of names I have many, of names I have one I have no clue about. But everything else refers to a shadow, your shadow to be exact.

    This is a riddle in some Rpg's I've played. I didn't look this up I swear :) It involves knowing you can pick up what is left on the other side as well. Here is how you do it:
    Take goose across and drop off goose
    Take grain across and drop of grain, pick up goose
    Drop off goose and take fox across and drop off fox with grain
    Take goose across and drop off goose with fox and grain.

He made sure nobody was in the car, rolled all the windows up, and locked all of the sedan's doors. He went off, but when he came back, his wife was dead, and there was a stranger in the car. No physical damage was done to the car, so how did the stranger get in?

    7: Sabrina had $50 and Samantha had $30 Here is how i figured it out
    --- Stop Here if you dont like math ----
    X = Sabrina Y = Samantha
    We know that X+ Y = 80

    After First transfer: Y is transfered to sam
    Sab = X - Y
    Sam = 2Y //(Y+Y)

    After second transfer X-Y transfered to sab
    Sab = 2(X-Y) //(X+Y+X+Y)
    Sam = 2Y - (X-Y)

    After third transfer: 2Y-(X+Y) to sam
    Sab = 2(X-Y) - (2Y-(X-Y)) = 0
    Sam = 4Y - 2(X-Y) =80 // 2 * (2Y -(X-Y))

    With this we can conclude that
    2(X-Y) = 2Y-(X-Y) = 40

    Time to break out some things
    2(X-Y) = 40
    2X - 2Y = 40

    2Y-(X-Y) =40
    2Y-X+Y=40
    3Y-X=40
    ----- // After some number magic.
    3Y-40+X-X = 40-40+X
    3Y-40=X

    After knowing a formula for X I replaced the X in this formula 2X-2Y=40
    2(3Y -40) -2Y = 40
    6Y - 80 - 2Y = 40
    4Y - 80 = 40
    4Y -80 + 80 = 40 + 80
    4Y = 120
    4Y/4 = 120/4
    Y=30

    So Sam started off with 30
    That means that Sabrina started off with 50, // 30 + 50 = 80
