24、 about the three men who were out in the town? After having consumed more drink than they should, they decided to sleep it off by staying overnight in a hotel. The desk clerk charged them $30.00 for the room. Shortly afterwards the desk clerk realized that he had overcharged the three men by $5.00.
25、He calls the bellboy over, gives him the $5.00 and explains to him that he had overcharged the three men and asked him to go up and give them the $5.00. On his way up, the bellboy thinks, “They will be happy to get a refund, so why dont I give them each $1.00? They will be happy and I will have pick
26、ed up $2.00.“ But when he does that and gives each man $1.00, that means they only paid $9.00 each for the room, which is a total of $27.00; plus the $2.00 the bellboy pocketed is a total of $29.00. But they gave the desk clerk $30.00! Where did the extra $1.00 go? To solve the puzzle, you have to consider if it is a correct calculation to add “plus the $2.00 the bellboy pocketed.“
