NAsie : was thinking more of 6*6-6 = 30 lol Only u could have thought abt more then just 6 or 9 :P

i am guessing, it should be 29.

coolbuddy · Jun 2, 2014 1:49 PM

My interpretation for this was : the highest two numbers - the square of the smallest number. i.e, 7*5 - 3^2 = 26 3*2 - 1^2 = 5 8*6 - 2^2 = 44 9*5 - 4^2 = 29

This is an old question but it can still be fun for those who haven't heard it or solved it. If you know the answer please give a like :) If you are seeing for the first time then please give your reasoning :) Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the missing $1? Last edited: 02-Jun-14 02:34 PM

the 2 dollar paid to the kid is already included in the $27 so we cannot add it again. so 27+3 = 30.. Good question though..
