A Riddle

[Bender]

3 men walk into a hotel needing a room for the night, they ask the manager how much a room for the night is, he says £30, so the 3 men all put £10 in and get a room between them.

10 minutes later the manager realises he has overcharged the men for the room by £5, as the room should have only cost £25, so he calls the bellboy over and explains the situation while handing over a £5 note for the bellboy to return to the men.

On the way up in the lift the bellboy realises he cant split £5 between 3 people, so he swaps it for 5 pound coins he has in his pocket and decides to give the men £1 each and keep the remaining £2 for himself.

So, if each man paid £10 to start with, but then each got a £1 back, that means they each paid £9 pound for the room, 3 x 9 = 27.

Plus the £2 the bellboy kept equals £29, where has the extra pound gone?

r u srs?

^ haha, good luck!

The three men paid more than 9 for the room, because between the three of them they only get 3 back instead of 5.

So the 3 x 9 sum is incorrect.

So the sum is incorrect.

Riddle solved.

lmao this one has been around since i was a kid.


It all adds up if u study it closely, do the maths for urself!

 

[Duke]

The room is 25. Between the three of them that's 8.33 each. They paid 10. That's a 1.66 difference

Now the remaining 5 should go back to them to make up for it, but instead of 1.66 they get 1. So each is screwed out of 66 cents.

So they each paid 9.33 for the room, not 9.

They gave it to the bellboy so he wouldnt tell anyone that they were having a threesome in the hotel room :thumb:

10 * 3 = 30

30 -5 he gives boy = 25

25 + 1(3) = 28 (1 for each man)

28 + 2 in his pocket = 30


omg yeshua u is so smart.
