why doesn't this work??? there's a bunch of us in denver, colorado that
are perplexed!!! :)
3 fellows go into a hotel. The desk clerk tells them that it will
be $30 for the night, so each one pays $10 and they head off to the
room for the night. Shortly after, the manager reminds the desk clerk
that they are running a special that night, and it's only $25 for the
room. The desk clerk pulls out five singles and gives them to the bell
boy to return to the fellows. On the way up to the room, the bell boy
realizes that it will be impossible to evenly split the $5, so he takes
$2 for himself. Once he gets to the room, he explains to the fellows
what happened, and returns the $3, one for each fellow. This means that
each fellow paid $9 for the room.
Now, add it back up.
They each paid $9. 9 times 3 is 27. The bell boy took $2, that makes
29. Where is the extra dollar?
any explanations??? THANKS!
