Can you figure this out?
« on: June 18, 2003, 03:11:53 AM »
for some reason,when we were walking home drunk on saturday night (well,stumbling around to be precise) my mate Karl asked me this question (don\'t know why) and I couldn\'t figure it out so he emailed it to meand I still can\'t figure it out...can you?

3 men go to a hotel and ask for one room for the night,the man behind the counter says that will be £30,each of the men pay £10 each.
when the men have gone to their room the man behind the counter relises that he has overcharged them as the room cost £25.so in the till there was five,one pound coins,but how was he going to share it between 3 men.
so he gave the five one pound coins to the door man and asked him to sort it out when he saw the men,the doorman thought how am i going to share this out between 3 men,so the doorman kept £2 and gave the men £1 back each.

the 3 men in the end payed £9 each for the room which comes to £27
the doorman took £2 which the total is now £29
so where is the other £1?

strange.

to make it clearer: 2 man pay 9 for the room, the door man pays only 7, so 9+9+7 is 25, ad to that the returned 5 and you get 30

this is not a doozy once u think about it, the guys paid £10 each at first they did not pay £9 as stated in the end of yer post (this is where the "trick" lies).

start with 30 bucks, gives dudes back 3 dollars making it 27 bucks.  he keeps the remaining 2 bucks making it 25 NOT 29.  He is adding the 2 remaining bucks instead of subtracting.  That is where the trick is.
I wear a necklace now because I like to know when I\'m upside down.
