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]

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]

examples : those threads like 'im bored free rep' lolol i get rep but never rep back... lol im a bitch like that blahhahahah

[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.

[.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

<<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.

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

it was a joke... damn

[ATK_Designs]

it was a joke... damn

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.

[ShooterMcGavin]

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