Remember the hotel missing dollar question that I posted earlier? Well if you still haven't figured out the answer, here it is!
The answer is in the way the question is worded. You cannot add what one person HAS to what someone else has PAID and come up with any kind of a meaningful number, you have to subtract.
Each man has paid $9. -------- $9 x 3 = $27
The bellhop has $2. -----------$2
Difference-------------------- $25
The hotel clerk has the other 25 dollars.
To look at it from the standpoint of the original $30.
Each man has $1. --------------$1 x 3 = $3
The bellhop has $2. ------------$2
The hotel clerk has $25. -------$25
Total ------------------------- $30
Get it? If you dun, well... I myself still am not quite sure how its supposed to work although I think I understand the logic... but anyway its just some trivia.
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
