Trav Le Bleu Posted 29 January 2009 Posted 29 January 2009 But if your walls and ceilings are on fire how can you take them out? Ok, so maybe "remove from" the house would have been a better way of phrasing it. Sheesh, penrickity!
Shrenchel Posted 29 January 2009 Posted 29 January 2009 Three men book a hotel room. The room costs 30 pounds and the men pay ten pounds each. After arriving in the room, the men are dissapointed by the size and complain to reception. The manager agrees to refund them five pounds and sends the bell boy up with five pound coins. The bell boy cant work out how to divide the five pounds by three people so he gives them a pound back each and keeps two for himself. The men have now paid 9 pounds each, which is 27 pounds in total. The bell boy has 2 pounds. 27+2=29. Where is the missing pound?

Shrenchel Posted 29 January 2009 Posted 29 January 2009 Did someone put it in the one armed bandit? It's quite possible. I have absolutely no idea what the answer to it is either.

I know how it works, it's just hard to explain.

lildave3 Posted 29 January 2009 Posted 29 January 2009 Exactly. I've head it before but can't remember the exact explanation. The two sums you add together at the end have no right being added together. I think.
