3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO
EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.
A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5. ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.
THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29. WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

Huh! this question was asked by one of my army uncle when i was a kid. Let me rack the brain.
In the question, the trick is whole number and the people are add (3). So one buck is slipping somwhere.

Let make this easy :>

Assume each had just $ 10 in their pocket.
They paid 25. Each owed $ 8.33.
They got $ 1 each. It makes $ 9.33.
Bell boy got $ 2. It means $ 0.66 from each. It makes $ 10.00.
Simple!
Actually they pay $ 8.33 for the room.
It is an interesting question though!

I LIKE.

Galaab, I used to think kukhura can be equal to or less than the eggs... never knew this as you write:
" n times (more) eggs --> (n+1) times (more) kukhura "

ए भाते बाबु तिमिले २७ डलरमा किन बेल बोइले लेको २ डलर फेरी जोड्न खोजेर २९ डलर बनाउन खोजेको? त्यो २७ त २५ होटलमा तिरेपछि बेल बोइले लेको २ डलर समेत गरेर २७ भइसक्यो। यसरी २७ ( प्रतेकको नौ खारेज भयो ) । बाकी १, १ त ति ३ जना ठिटाले पाइसके, तेसरी ३० को हिसाब मिल्यो । ल भन हिसाब कता बुझेनौ ?

think of it this way...

they paid TOTAL of $30
hotel kept $25
bell boy kept $2
and each of the 3 ppl got $1 back

so, 25 + 2 + 3 = 30

dollar nai miss bha chhaina..

Yes nepalean is right. That $2 tips is already added in $9 share because room rent is $25. ie. 25/3 = $8.33, which $0.67 less than $9. Now, if you multiply $0.67 by 3, you would approx. get $2, which is the tips that the bell boy already got.

There is no need to $2, that's just the flaw in the question itself.

Hope bhate bro has understood now. If not, go to high school. LOL!!

Obviously bhaute knows there is no miscalculation. If it is analyzed any other way, it makes sense...so stop throwing your interpretations. Try to find the mistake in the question.

> This paradox is best solved here:

That's what everyone here's been trying to explain to Bhate. There's no missing dollar at all! Seems like bhate hasn't had any bhat today.. he's in no position to accept that the question itself is wrong.

Gogol,

Read my posting immediately after the one you are talking about. I have corrected it. The generalization I tried to make was actually,

n times (more) eggs --> n times (more) kukhura
n times (more) kukhura --> (n+1) times (more) eggs

I don't know what is funnier - bhaate not getting it or the rest of you still trying to explain it to him. Don't give up yet.
