***One Billion Dollar Contest***

Answer this question and you could win One Billion Dollars

3 people went to rent a hotel room. Once there the manager was gone so the janitor helped them. The 3 people asked how much for a room tonight. He said $30, The 3 people decided to get the room because it would only be $10 each “$10 x 3 = $30”. A few minutes later the manager shows back up, the janitor told him he rented a room. Manager told him great job and asked how much did you charge them? The janitor replied $30, Oh no that is wrong the manager said, it’s only $25 this weekend. He told the janitor to take $5 down to them. When the Janitor was walking to there room he could not stop thinking about the $5, how in the world am I going to split this up between the 3 guys. Right before the janitor got there he decided to keep $2 and give them $3. I can split $3 easy he said, $1 per person. When he got there he told the guys he charged them the wrong price. The price is $3 cheaper and gave the $3 dollars to the 3 people. Now if the janitor gave a $1 to each person that would make it that they only paid $9 each correct? Yes. $9 x 3 = $27 correct? Yes.

Now for the big question, If the price for the room was $30 to start and the janitor gave them $3 dollars back, making the price for the room $27. The janitor has $2 right? Yes. Add $2 to $27 = $29 correct? Yes. Where did the $1 go?

No money will be paid out for the correct answer

this is more a math exercise than a question....25/3 = 8.3333333
also the missing dollar, which will be 1.00/3 = 0.33333333
bottom line is, math is not exact as number as infite, thats why we use "approximates"

Add $2 to $27 = $29 correct? Yes. Where did the $1 go?

Add $3 to $25 = $28 correct?

Add $2 to 28$ = $30.

Easy...
 
Re: ***One Billion Dollar Contest***

That's just stupid math, you should subtract the $2 from $27 at the end of the "riddle", just as you subtracted the $3 dollars from $30.

Hmm so lets try answering this incorrectly... ;) Anyone who works or has worked in the hotel business would know that a manager would NEVER give money back unless the customer brought it up. Hotels usually charge as much as they can for a room and lower their prices so as to fill the rooms. Something is better than nothing. Besides, where is that awful tax?:p Oh and my incorrect answer is don't take any wooden nickels.
