Title: Can you figure this out? Post by: CABLEGUY1 on March 26, 2008, 06:54:28 PM If you do figure it out or already know the answer just say you know it. Please do not post the answer until tomorrow so a few others can have a chance to figure it out.Thanks.
3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM. A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5. ON THE WAY, THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF. THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $ 27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29. WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR? Title: Re: Can you figure this out?

Title: Re: Can you figure this out? Post by: Anoriginal on March 27, 2008, 04:13:30 PM It's simple and just a play on order.
There is no missing dollar. $25 stayed at the desk $3 went back to the men $2 went to the bellboy. That's still $30 no matter how you slice it. Title: Re: Can you figure this out? Post by: trx#9 on March 27, 2008, 04:30:36 PM they added instead of subtracting the final 2 dollars. It was just a trick!

Title: Re: Can you figure this out? Post by: bignickwaite on March 28, 2008, 11:16:49 AM damn it i still dont get it
The men each paid US$9 for the room or US$27 total. The hotel got US$25 and the bellboy got US$2. 25 + 2 = 27. It's a trick question and the 30 is not the goal. Or you can say each man initially paid US$10 and had US$1 returned to them. 30 - 3 = 27 = 25 + 2. Title: Re: Can you figure this out? Post by: klutchbuster400 on March 28, 2008, 11:35:26 AM I have two answers going through my head. The first would be the bellboy recieved a $1 tip. The other is more mathematical, so I'll wait for the true answer.

Post by: IXIswamperIXI on March 28, 2008, 12:26:12 PM The statement "THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM" is a false statement. 25 divided by 3 is not 9 it is 8.34 This is where the confusion is.

Post by: 1FasterBlaster on March 30, 2008, 12:10:02 AM He's just telling you $27, he says $3.00 was returned, that equals 28, not 27. You have to listen closely!!
