17-12-2009 6:31am#1Right ladies and gentlemen I was given a brain teaser to do and I cant for the life of me figure it out so heres one for you brainboxes out there now my wording might not be the best but work with me here.
3 Fellas walk into a hotel to stay the night and the receptionist charges them €30 .They are brought to there room to settle in.
When gone to there rooms the receptionist realises he made a mistake and should of charged them €25 so he gives the bell boy €5 to give to the 3 men.
The bell boy gives the men €3 and keeps the other €2 for himself.
This means the 3 men paid €9 each for the room 3X9=27 plus the 2 that the bell boy has 27+2=29
The question is wheres the missing €1 :eek:

there is no missing €1.
of the original €30, there is now €25 with the receptionist, €3 back with the 3 guys and €2 in the bell boys pocket. 25+3+2=30
it's true that the guys have now paid €27, but of that amount 25 is with the receptionist and 2 with the bellboy. what you've done is add the €2 to that €27, instead of adding the €3 that was refunded.
I know I'm not explaining it well, but it's 5:45am and this is the best my brain works at this hour

I dont see the problem
I see the equation as 30-3-2 = 25
You see the equation as ((30-3-2))/3 which is not a div whole number.
The actual fact is 3x9=27+3 Euro returned by the bell boy equals 30
The 2 Euro has already been taken so its included in the bill.0 -
