Okay guppies, get cracking. Evaluate your IQ!!!!
Figure this one out!
Three guys in a hotel call room service and order two large pizzas. The
delivery boy brings them up with a bill for exactly $30.00. Each guy
gives him a $10.00 bill, and he leaves. That's fact!
When he hands the $30.00 to the cashier, he is told a mistake was made.
The bill was only $25.00, not $30.00. The cashier gives the delivery boy
five $1.00 bills and tells him to take it back to the 3 guys who ordered
the pizza. That's fact!
On the way back to their room, the delivery boy has a thought....these guys
did not give him a tip. He figures that since there is no way to split
$5.00 evenly three ways anyhow, he will keep two dollars for himself and
give them back three Dollars.
OK! So far so good!
He knocks on the door and one fellow answers. He explains about the mix-up
in the bill, and hands the guy the three dollars, then departs with his
two dollar tip in his pocket.
Now the fun begins! remember $30-$25=$5 Right? $5-$3=$2 Right? So what's
the problem? All is well, right? Not quite.
Answer this: Each of the three guys originally gave $10.00 each. They
each got back $1.00 in change. That means they paid $9.00 each, which
times three is $27.00. The delivery boy kept $2.00 for a tip. $27.00
plus 2.00 equals $29.00.
Where the heck is that other dollar?
