The missing dollar

US_$1_obverse

Tenkte jeg skulle ta en liten test på dere. Les teksten og skriv en kommentar hvis dere finner ut av det;)

Three men decided to split the cost of a hotel room. The hotel manager gave them a price of $30. The men split the bill evenly, each paying $10, and retired to their room. However, the manager realized that it was a Wednesday night, which meant the hotel had a special: rooms were only $25. He had overcharged them $5!

He promptly called the bellboy, gave him five one-dollar bills and told him to return it to the men. When the bellboy explained the situation to the men, they were so pleased at the honesty of the establishment that they promptly tipped the bellboy $2 of the $5 he had returned and each kept $1 for himself.

The Problem: Each of the three men ended up paying $9 (their original $10, minus $1 back) totalling $27, plus $2 for the bellboy makes $29. Where did the extra dollar go?

    hhaha, bra mind trick! Regningen var nå på 25, derfor tar du 27-2 = 25 i stedet for 27+2 =29, 25(nye prisen på rommet)+3(som de beholdt)+2(som de gav i tips) = 30. Natti natta
