prakhonchai nick Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 3 MEN GO INTO A HOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS £30.00 SO EACH MAN PAID £10.00 AND WENT TO THE ROOM. A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY £25.00 SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH £5.00 ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT £5.00 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A £1.00 AND KEPT THE OTHER £2.00 FOR HIMSELF. THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID £9.00 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF £27.00, ADD THE £2.00 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = £29.00 WHERE IS THE OTHER POUND?

Plus Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Three men paid $9 each, that is $27, out of which $25 went to the hotel and $2 to the bellboy. The trick is in the last line - it says "total of $27, add two dollars for the bellboy" when in fact you should deduct these two dollars, the rest goes to the hotel.
