ok now its my physicis class time since my break has come to an end nowbut before i go one last question and to be honest i even don't know the answer my self3 men want a hotal room for the night each payed $10 per room = $30 total the manger said you charged to much the manger gave $5 to bob (the kid at the booth) bob did not know how to split $5 between 3 so he put $2 in his pocket and gave $1 to each of...the 3 men so each man payed $9 for the room. $9 times 3= 27+the $2 bob has = 29Where did the last doller go?here you go guys see you after i am finished with my physics class []
I'm in there: http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/about-us/who-are-we/ - but it's not a great picture - it's small and I'm squinting, as it's the middle of the day in sunny Thailand...This is an oldie, but certainly a goodie - my dad used to tell it with 3 men buying a piano together.It's a lovely trick, but the answer is that you do not add the £2 to the £9 they paid, you take the £2 away, giving the correct total of £25 - If you're subtracting the £1 they each got back from the total, you need to subtract the £2 that bob pocketed too...
by the way i couldn't find you on the link []
