explain yourself

 

I think my theory was flawed...

 

ok

 

starts with 30

 

30(original) - 5 = 25

 

5 - 3(given back) = 2

 

25 + 2(kept) = 27

 

27 + 3 (given back) = 30

 

So ... there's your missing crazy E.

 

but if each man got £1 back and they each paid £10 originally that means they each paid in total £9 for their room... and the waiter only got £2... where is the missing gold coin :wink3:

UF!! I-M THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN-T UNDERSTAND THE JOKE HERE! *FEELS STUPID* :lol:

That's not how it works, and that's FINAL.

10 - 1 = 9

10 - 1 = 9

10 - 1 = 9

1 + 1 + 1 = 3

9 + 9 + 9 + 3 = 30

 

SO YEAH

I'M NO DUM-DUM!

 

...

 

Why do I care so much?

SO YEAH

 

10-1=9

10-1=9

10-1=9

 

which means that the waiter has only 2 left after dishing out the 3 1's

 

each man now has nine, what does the waiter do with the 2 left over

 

(9+9+9+2 = 29) :P

 

 

:lol: I GUESS YOU BEATED IAN! :lol: :D

 

I'm sorry? :P

NO

 

YOUR MATH IS FLAWED.

 

YOU DON'T ADD THE 2 TO THE 27, YOU ADD THE 3

 

STOP MAKING ME LOOK STUPID

 

I AM SMART

 

AND I'M TYPING LIKE STERNLY :stunned: :P :D

where does the 3 come from, you're the waiter and you've only got 2 left :lol:

 

yes this is getting tiresome :stunned:

 

glad I quit maths after uni :dozey:

NO

YOU TYPE LIKE, BUT YOU AIN'T ME

 

CAUSE I WOULD HAVE NEVER COME OUT WITH THAT ANSWER! :lol: :P

where does the 3 come from, you're the waiter and you've only got 2 left :lol:

 

yes this is getting tiresome :stunned:

the 3 comes from the 3 subtracted from what the guys paid.

10 - 1

10 - 1

10 - 1

 

1 + 1 + 1 = 3

the 2 never comes into play, we're treating it like it was part of what was paid.

;)

:D

 

:lol: I GUESS YOU BEATED IAN! :lol: :D

 

I'm sorry? :P

 

I WAS RIGHT! :D

The maths is flawed all along, that's why I posted it, you and your bleedin' 100 dollars :P
