MrDuke January 26, 2005 Share MrDuke Member January 26, 2005 (edited) The classic still gets people: 3 men check into a hotel and each have a $10 bill. The clerk charges them $30 for the room. Later, the clerk realizes he billed in error and should have only billed them $25. He calls the bus boy and says, "run these five one dollar bills up to their room". Upon entering the room and explaining the mistake, the men give him a $2 tip and each keep a dollar. So, each man spent $9 total ($10-$1=$9) and the bus boy got a $2 tip, which equals $29. Where did the other dollar go? Edited January 26, 2005 by mrduke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL January 26, 2005 Share dwEEziL Member January 26, 2005 Each man did not pay $9, each man paid (30-2)/3 = 28/3 = 9.33... And Xterm, the 4-2-3 one was worded correctly to begin with. Morning = childhood , noon = adulthood, evening = old age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
