Two friends go to a cinema. They walked to the booth and ordered a ticket each. The ticket prices are $8(admission with popcorn), and $5(admission only). The first friend gave the cashier a $10 note and was asked to choose between the two types of tickets, which he replied, "$8".
However, the second friend paid $10 and the cashier, without hesitation, the cashier gave him a $8 ticket. Why didn't he ask which ticket he prefers?

Answer

The second friend paid with two $5 notes, so the cashier knew that if he wanted a $5 ticket, he would only pay $5. (I said that the second boy paid $10, not that he gave the cashier a $10 note!)
