9. Three guests check into a hotel room.

The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10.

Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25.

To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests.

On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally.

As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep$2 for himself.

Each guest got $1 back: so now each guest only paid$9; bringing the total paid to $27.

The bellhop has $2.

And $27 + $2= $29 so, if the guests originally handed over $30,

what happened to the remaining $1?

Lalasticlala, Mynd44

Well the logic is wrong. They actually gave out $27 : $25 with the clerk and $2 with the other guy.
30-3 = 27 =(25+2).

Five men are going through the street.

It starts raining.

Four of them start moving faster.

The fifth man makes no effort to run from rain, however, he stays dry.

The other four get wet anyway.

All of them arrive at their destination together.


How could this be possible?

The calculation is wrong.

The assumption of equalling the total money to 30 is also wrong.

The three guests paid $9 each totaling $27.

$25 is with the clerk, and $2 dollar is with the bellhop.

$25+$2=$27.

So, the assumption of $30 is wrong. no dollar is missing.

Ofcourse there wasn't a missing dollar....

Here's how $$$ went round:

$9 paid by 3 guests = $27,
Of the $27 paid, $25 was the revised hotel bill for the 3 guests, $2 was kept in the hand of the bellhop, that totals the $27, while $3 change was returned back to the guests.

$25 in the hotel's account + $2 with the bellhop + $3 ($1 each for 3 guests ) = $30

All dollars already accounted for with non missing...no missing $.

The fifth man must have been in a well sealed object like a coffin,,whilst the other four men are the pall bearers,carrying the coffin to the destination.

Nice thinking, though wrong as if the buttons are not working how's he able to call the elevator up in the morning to take him down.
the rest of the buttons are working hence he can use 1 to go down but since 0 is not working he can't type 10 .... 8 and 9 ain't working too

The elevator stops at the 7th floor. It doesn't reach the 10th. So in the mornings, he descends the steps to the 7th floor to join the elevator to the ground floor to go get his groceries. When he comes back from work, he takes same elevator to the 7th floor where it stops, then use the staircase to reach home.
you have done well bro

The 5th man has a car & decided to gv d other 4 men a lift after seeing dem wet. Therefore dey both got to dia destination @d same tym.

N.B One Umbrella will be too small for d 5men & all of dem will eventually get wet.

A man lives on a 10th floor of some building. Every morning he takes the elevator to the ground floor to go shopping for groceries.

When he comes back, he takes the elevator to the 7th floor and continues by stairs to reach his apartment on the 10th floor.

Why?



The Elevator starts from d 7th floor & every morning, he took d stairs from his apartment (10th floor) to the 7th floor & from there took d elevator to the ground floor & wen coming back he took the elevator to the 7th floor & continued to the 10th floor using d stairs.
