So you guys like Riddles? Heres a Hard one

[.blank cd]

There were 3 guys on a road trip. its getting late so they decide to stop at a cheaper motel. the sign in the front says $30/night. So they all split the bill and each guy pays $10. So as the bell boy is taking the men up to the room, the cashier downstairs realizes hes made a mistake and the room was actually $25. So the cashier gives the bell boy $5 and says "take this up to their room, i charged them too much" as the bell boy is walking up the stairs he thinks to himself, $5 doesnt split evenly between 3 people so i'll give them each a dollar and keep 2 for myself. The bell boy tells the men the cashier has made a mistake and hands each of the men a dollar. and keeps the extra 2 for himself. Now the men came into the hotel and each paid $10 and they have each recieved $1 back from the cashier so they've paid $9 each. if they each paid $9 and the bell boy has kept $2, that adds up to $29, who has the extra dollar??

+1 to the first person who find it

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

haha...no

Nope, all 30 bucks are there

30-5 = 25 bucks
25/3 = 8.333333

each paid 8.333 + 1 = 9.3333
Multiply by 3 = 28
+ 2 from the boy = $30

lol damn that is some mathmatical shit. ive never seen it explained that way. but i think im gonna give it to RandomGuy. Its sorta playing with the order of operations to make you think theres an extra dollar somewhere but theres not.

where is that +1 coming from anyway? it would be 8.33*3+2 which is 27. so you are missing $3

[PSINXS]

naw, I got lucky.
come do my homework

nevermind i jsut read that u were wrong

that 1 is the 1 they get back, smart guy

[TheSnail]

Its simple. When the guy takes the $2 it takes away from the $27 not adds to the $27.

Nope, i was right. JDMCD6 read it wrong. Randomguy explained it. That 1 buck is what each of them got back.

Thanks Randomguy for the rep. :)

[PSINXS]

[ATK_Designs]

I get your explanation and you got it right, but randomguy got it first

he didn't say why. He just know it's word play. :tongue:

[.blank cd]

wheres my rep? it took me 2 min. to type all that shit

[ATK_Designs]

Here's another way to explain it.

That 1 bucks didn't go anywhere since.

The room cost is now only $25.

Which requires them to only pay 25/3 = 8.3333

but they gave out 10, got 1 back, means they each paid 9. (10 - 1 = 9)

9 x 3 = 27 (total of what they paid)

27 - 25 = 2 bucks that they tip the boy.

Which means that each gave out 0.66666 to tip the boy.

aight aight, you get a rep but u already got one so u gotta rep me back damnit

[ATK_Designs]

u got it.

[RandomGuy]

they must be asian

[.blank cd]

they must be asian

:lmfao: :lmao:

<<used to be a waiter

[TheSnail]

Like I said its simple. They paid $27 to the hottle, the bell boy stole $2 from the hottel. the hottel now has $25.

hottel HAD $30, Then has 27 after giving away $3 to the guys. Then has $25 after the theifing bellboy takes $2.

Its 30-3-2
Not 30-3+2

[ATK_Designs]

they must be asian

naw man, asian tips more than ... Not to be racist but I used to be a waiter back when I was in school.

I know, because I always tips 20 % unless the waiter/tress really piss me off, then no tips.

I once tips a waitress 50% kuz she's freaking HOT and she gave me extremely good service. Sad thing is, I accidently left her number in the car and my gf threw out the girl number. :eye:

but for real though, some asian people are poor ass tipers. Especially old people. They don't know that we only make 2.31-4 bucks an hr and we live off tips. :( They thought that we get paid hourly, like normal ppl.

[ShooterMcGavin]

man this shit is old, if y'all like these though i'll have some for ya :goodjob:

it was a joke... damn :eye:

[ATK_Designs]

I know you were joking, but sadly, it's the truth. Old Asian people don't know that. My parents didn't know untill I told them. They were like WTF? They thought that the waiting job gets paid 7-8bucks/hr. :o

[ShooterMcGavin]

don't generalize ppl, my gparents are old (obviously) and they have enough class to know to tip well.
