So if they each put in a tenner, and got a pound back, they each payed £9

3 X £9 = £27, + £2 (tip) = £29

wheres the missing pound?
The logic doesn't work.

(Sorry to use the "$" sign, I don't have a pound key, unless the "#" counts...)

They paid $10 each, 3x$10=$30

The room was $25. Technically, This means that the room was $8.33 (to infinity). So, by the above logic, they scammed the hotel by a penny or they shafted the third guy for the room.

They got back $5. This does not change the fact they paid $10 each in the first place. They're still out $30 spent from before, regardless of change given. So now they have $5 change.

They split the $5 change, $1 each and $2 to the receptionist. All phisical bills accounted for, $25 for the room, $5 change, $30 money spent total.

Numbers don't lie, but skewed results do. Math can not be applied retroactively.

Hmm...:confused:

"3 X £9 = £27, + £2 (tip) = £29" is what makes people confused... :p

It should be 3 x 9 = 27, including 2 (tip) :rolleyes:

25 (room) + 2 (tip) = 27 / 3 (persons) = 9 each person ;)

One day there was a dead guy on the desert with nothing else around. All he was carrying was a short straw in his hand and he was completely naked. Signs show that he fell to his death but not in agony and he didn't struggle
What Happened ?

Plane going down..... three men, two parachutes, drew straws, he lost.
