This is kinda buggin me now... anyone able to figure itout?
Posted by AJ on April 22nd, 2005


3 people go to a hotel and get a room. The night clerk charged them £30
rent. So they each paid £10 and went to their room.
The manager comes in and says to the clerk that there is a special on and
the room was only £25. So he sent the porter up to the room with 5 pound
coins. Seeing as the 3 couldn't split £5 coins between the 3 of them they
gave the porter £2 and each took £1 back, meaning they paid £9 each for the
room.

Sooo where is the other £1?

they paid £9 each for the room... = £27
gave the porter £2 =£29
missing £1 is where?

AJ, <WEBMASTER@CAVECTRACENTRE.COM>, the squeamish, gratuitous solicitor, and
dosshouse cook, moralised:

They did not pay £9 each for the room, you brainless fuck. They
/effectively/ paid £9.33 each for the room.

You lost it when you claimed "they paid £9 each".

Bullshit. The room was £25. They got £1 each back. That's £28 between the
three of them. Still with it, shit for fucking brains? The porter got the
other £2. 25 + 3 + 2 = 30. Check it your fucking self. £9.33 x 3 = £27.99
(£28) + 2 = £30.

You already asked that, you fucking brainless shit.

Oki then,

3 people
they paid £10 each = £30

the room was in fact £25 so the ported took £2
he gave them £1 back each... £10 - £1 = £9

So, they paid £9 (as they each recieved £1 coin back from the £10 rthey
gave) each = £9 x 3 = £27
The porter has £2 ... so £27+£2 = £29

thx for the kinda hearted response...

but you still were not able to answer the question, maybe someone with a
little higher interlect

So why are you adding 2 to 27? The hotel still only got 25. The porter
got 5 which he split into 3 and 2. All those values are negative with
respect to what the hotel got paid (30 - 5 = 30 - 3 - 2). You are
subtracting 3 and then adding 2. Wrong. You subtract 3 (to get what
the patrons paid in total) AND you also *subtract* 2 to get down to the
25 that the hotel got paid. The porter stole the 2 dollars. You are
trying to pretend that 27 + 2 is what the hotel got paid. Wrong. The
hotel got paid 27 - 2.

Ooooh, excuse me for accidentally putting "dollars" into one of those
sentences in my reply. So when you wash your hair, you actually follow
those instructions of "wash, rinse, repeat" indefinitely? I wasn't
about to waste my time figuring out how to insert the pound character
and had intended to leave all values as numeric only. The point was to
prove the failed logic of adding 2 when it was supposed to get
substracted.

The Hotel got 25
The Porter got 2
The extra 3 went to the guests 1 each.
The guests paid a total of 27, 25 to the hotel and a 2 to the porter as a
tip.

Wrong, 9.33 x 3 = 28 (27.99 to be precise,but for the purpose of my point i
will round it up)
Their total outlay between them was 27(25 for the room and 2 for the tip)
The room itself cost them 8.33 each .The tip cost them 66 p each
(8.33 + 66 p each for the tip = 9 quid) and they each pocketed 1 quid which
was returned to them
So the total spent including tip was 27 (30 minus the returned 3) which is 9
pounds each

twentyfive devided by three,the rest of the money is irrelivant as the
question is what did they pay for the room the money they got back,and the
money they gave the porter is not payment for the room.




Posted by iamgilbert on April 22nd, 2005


they didnt pay 9 pounds each...u only persume they did....
they actually paid £8.33 each... (£25/3 = £8.3333333)
