Dogger Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Let's see if you can figure it out: Three noobs (Ghost, JP and Hellz) decided to split the cost of a hotel room. The hotel manager Sadik gave them a price of $30.The noobs split the bill evenly, each paying $10, and went to their room. However, the hotel manager Sadik realized that it was a Wednesday night, which meant the hotel had a special: rooms were only $25. He had overcharged them $5!Sadik called the bellboy (Euth), gave him five one-dollar bills and told him to return it to the noobs.When Euth explained the situation to the noobs, they were so pleased at the honesty of the establishment that they promptly tipped the Euth $2 of the $5 he had returned and each kept $1 for themself.So each of the three noobs ended up paying $9 (their original $10, minus $1 back) totaling $27, plus $2 for Euth which makes $29. So where is the missing dollar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Old guy,There is no missing dollar.Total Paid: $30$30 - $3 (The dollar each got back) = $27$27 - $2 (Tip) = $25 You can't add a tip, you subtract the tip.-Jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
