T78 4 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I cant see though guys, how you can go from round figures and easily presented figures, to guesswork like that???? whats guess work? in the original riddle,when the change is given back its conveniently rounded up to 3 x 9(27)when in fact the 3 men only paid 25 for the room and thats when it starts to get confusing and my head hurts....

garethstroud 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 The lads paid £30 and the maid nicked £2 of their change so they effectively paid £28 which when divided by 3 is £9.33r. The missing £1 is 3 x £0.33r. Great riddle though – had me scratching my head for a while! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
