c'mon SV/VS! You have 90 people in your gangs, alone!

U need a remedial math class... wait.... WTF am I doing posting in these full on homo forums???

oh yeh! alcohol.... mmmmmmmm alcohol!

I do suck at math. :)

Teach me!

3 guys go into a hotel needing a room for the night. They go up to the counter and ask the person how much for a room? The guy behind the counter says I am the bell hop and the manager had to step out but I think the rooms are 30 bucks a night.

So each guy pulls out 10 bucks and head up to their room.

The manager comes back and the bell hop tells the manager he sold a room for 30 bucks. The manager says the room are only 25 per night so take the 5 bucks and give it back...

The bell hop on his way to the room realizes that each guy gave him ten so he decides to pocket 2 bucks and give them each a dollar...

so now each guy got back one dollar, and therefore paid 9 bucks each for the room...

9 times 3 is 27 plus the 2 bucks the guy pocketed is 29...

what happened to the other dollar??

It is not complex. You are thinking too hard on this. Room was $25 out of $30 that was paid, and only $3 was returned to the three people. $25 (room cost) + $2 (bell hops tip) +$3 (ea got one) = $30. The extra dollar went to pay the room, you are just focusing on the wrong numbers.

Skipping the basic math, why are three men sharing a room with a max of two beds? And for $25 you can bet there is only one bed. So they are really paying $9 per guy to get their assets checked?

The idea is to look at it this way:

Each guy shelled out $10.
Each was given back $1.
So each effectively paid $9.
The bellhop took $2.

9 * 3 = 27
27 + 2 = 29 ≠ 30
