Hi this is computer related course its a logic question for my lab this week for my computer science paper.....

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives the bellboy $5 to return. On the way the bellboy reasons that $5 is hard to split between 3 people so he keeps $2 and gives each of the 3 people $1. Now each person has paid $10 and got $1 back. So they have paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bell boy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the remaining dollar????

Thanks for any input.
Stagg.

Not that old chestnut again !!!!!!!

Could be really boring and say 25 in the till, 2 in the bellboys pocket and 1 each for the three guests which equals 30 !

oh yea....:blockhd: :blockhd: :blockhd:

thanks :tup:
