One or more of the "rooms" had more than one room....like a penthouse.....<br />4.

The desk clerk told them that he only had one room left and it was a single for $30. The men were exhausted and agreed to share the room. Each man paid $10 and they went to the room.<br /><br />Later, the desk clerk told the bellboy that he felt bad about cramming three men into one little room and he gave the bellboy $5 with instructions to refund it to the men.<br /><br />Going up in the elevator, the bellboy tried to figure out how to split $5 evenly among three men. When he reached the room, he gave each man $1 and he pocketed the remaining $2.<br /><br />Since each man originally paid $10 and received a $1 refund, they ended up paying $9 apiece, or a total of $27 for the room.<br /><br />If you add that $27 to the $2 the bellboy kept, that will account for $29 out of the original $30. What happened to the other dollar?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-37015556426773765302012-10-20T07:16:48.330+05:302012-10-20T07:16:48.330+05:30He had the bathroom of one person, it didn't s...He had the bathroom of one person, it didn't say a bedroom merely a room.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-28084270397893130412012-09-24T23:17:09.099+05:302012-09-24T23:17:09.099+05:30u missed the 2nd guest out. u said the 1st and 13t...u missed the 2nd guest out. u said the 1st and 13th in room 1 and everyone else goes one room less than their number (e.g: guest 12 goes to room 11) so guest 2 goes to room 1 but he is not mentioned meaning everyone but him has a roomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115727342977609622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-8139264415687678322012-09-13T09:26:04.290+05:302012-09-13T09:26:04.290+05:30The only way I can see around this problem is by a...The only way I can see around this problem is by asking "how long does each person have a room to themselves?" <br /><br />The bell boy can then ask for the 2nd guest to go to room no.1, then the 1rd guest to go to room no.2, then the 3rd guest to room no.3... and so on. <br /><br />To become fair, I think all the guests will have to stay for 12 days. It'll be a constant switching of rooms, where each person would get a room to themselves, but there will be two times that they have to share it. I think it would be possible to slash that down to 6 times, by making two people share a room for the first time, at the same time, but... I've been drinking a bit. :S<br /><br />To do that, the bell boy would have to make two people switch room at the same time/day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-53781404730888320822012-09-13T04:42:47.796+05:302012-09-13T04:42:47.796+05:30Folks...
