right.
3 blokes walk into a hotel, and order a room with 3 beds. the room costs 30 quid.
so they each hand over 10 quid each, all nice and even. so the receptionist asks the bellboy to take their bags upstairs. he does so, and comes back down to reception. the receptionist says to him,
"hey, i've given them the wrong price! the room was actually 25 pounds, not 30! here, take this 5 pounds and give it to them."
so the bellboy is walking up the stairs, and thinks to himself,
'hold up. 5 pounds divided by 3? it's not gonna work!'
so he takes 2 pounds, and gives each of the men 1 pound each.
so then. in total, they each got a quid back, and they paid a tenner each, so that equals 9 pounds.
9 X 3 equals 27.
the bell boy took 2 pounds, which in total equals 29 pounds.
who has the other pound?
