Look you mardy cunts, I answered this on the first page. Why is this still going?


Cunts.

Probably because you got it wrong.
Read through the complete thread.
It's been correctly explained in a dozen different ways by a dozen different people.
Even the hard of thinking should have got it by now.

So what happened to the spare £1 ???

 

[kawkav]

they did

if you pay someone 10 quid and they give you back a quid that means you've paid 9 quid

shirley

they pay £25 as a group that works out at £8.33 each plus£1 = £9.33 times 3 = £28

no theydidnt pat 8:33 they gave him a tenner each and he gave them a quid each back, that means they've paid 9 quid each, there is 9 quid gone from their pockets(10 out then 1 back = 9) how can you not understand that ?

27 gone out of their pocket
25 to landlady
2 to clerk
what is the problem than?<br /><br />-- Thu Feb 20, 2014 12:21 am --<br /><br />

Each guest got £1 back so now each guest only paid £9, bringing the total paid to £27. The porter has £2. And £27 + £2 - £29 so, if the guests originally handed over £30, what happened to the remaining £1?

Why is it £27 + £2 = £29?

Surely it should be £27 - £2 = £25, which is what was actually paid.

or this can work to

Once and for all;

Original bill = £30
Minus
Amended Bill = £25

Difference £5

Each guest received £1 back = £3
Plus
Clerk received £2

Total = £5

Make sense of this sentence smart alecs:


and and and and and and sons

*may need punctuation/caps

(Dave and sons). There is no full stop between Dave and and and and and sons. The previous sentence is valid. Likewise, so is the next, ad infinitum. There is no full stop between Dave and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and sons.

There is no missing pound.

The porter obviously nicked £3 not £2

You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time.
You obviously fall into the second category. The guests paid £27 in total not £28 as
you stated in your first post. That's the whole point of the riddle. The riddle has been
explained in numerous previous posts by numerous people, including me, if you read
this thread. Whilst maths clearly isn't your strong point I'm assuming that as you are
able to write you can read. Please don't call me old again in the future. Thank You.

I know him mate. Go easy on him. He needs a label round his neck with his address on to make sure he finds his way home from the drop-in centre.
