......continuation.........Three men check into a hotel, the manager charges them $30 for one room with three beds which they share. The men go to their room and settle in, after a few moments the manager realizes his mistake, he over charged the three men, the room rate was only $25. He sends for the bellhop to return the $5 to the three men. On his way to the room the bellhop realizes that he can't split $5 between 3 men so he decides to give each man $1 and pocket the remaining $2 as a tip. The bellman returns the $1 to each man. In the three mens minds they each paid $9 for the room, or a total of $27, include the $2 tip the bellhop kept and that equals $29, what happened to the other dollar?
sorry about that guys....
I'll be posting all the answers before the time ends so you all could edit your answers....thanks!
Answers:
1. Suicide
2. He is bald
3. 12 seconds(5 intervals to strike 6, twice as many to strike 11)
4. one thousand
5. the room with the lions - if they have not eaten in 3 years, they would be dead and thus not be a danger to everyone.
6. The least common multiple of 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 is given by 2520. Hence the number is 2519
7. Y - it is one fourth of YARD
8. It's a trick on words that leads you to believe the answer is 30 and has you add the number 2 when you should be subtracting as follows: 3 x $9 = 27, then minus the $2 = $25 which is what they paid for the room. And if you take wh at they ultimately paid for the room ($25) and add the $3 ($1 each they received), and they add the $2 the bellhop took, you would reach the original $30 that was paid.
I'll be picking up the best answer since there are 13 of you.One with the most correct answers is the winner.

1. suicide?
2. He was bald
3. 12 seconds
4.One thousand
5. the lions
6. 2519
7. Y
8. Each person paid $9 for a total of $27. The $2 that the bellboy got is included in this $27. You should not add $2 to $27 because it is already included. Each of the guests got back $1 for a total of $3. The $27 that they spent plus the $3 returned accounts for the original $30.
( I didn't really know what you meant)
