is this question not dependant on pre-set parameters?if the person instigating the question is of less intelligence than a number of given repliers then it's surely null and void.what can be gauged as intelligence? good spelling,no because all computers are installed with a spell checker.is it based on content on the quality of content within the aforementioned replies?, no because some people word things differently therefore using words that other people have no understanding of.do you base it on a witty retort level because then again what someone deems witty is not necessarily what someone else might.myself i would base it on the amount of body hair of which being of the simian gene pool would win by atleast 100 yards on a country lane.what the hell was god thinking of when he thought of hamsters?

Originally posted by dtig View PostANYONE WHO CAN GIVE ME THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THIS !!....
Three blokes go to a hotel, and to save money decide to share a room. The Receptionist tells them the room is £30 per night, so they agree, pay the money, £10 each, and off they go.
30 minutes later, the bell boy comes to the room and explains that the recptionist was wrong and that the room was only £25 per night, and he gives them £5 back in pound coins. They cant split the £5 evenly between them so they keep £1 each (£3) and give the bell boy £2 for his trouble.....you with me so far ??
Okay, so they had spent £10 each, they each just got a pound back, so now they've only spent £9 each and given the bell boy £2............... 3 x 9= 27, +2 = 29......SO WHERE'S THE OTHER POUND GONE ?
The person that can explain that is by far....the most intelligent person on here....over to you Scott :-)
enjoyed that lets have another!!!!
the question is wrong
they did pay £9 each, which is an overspend of £2 (that they gave to the doorman)
the question quotes (incorrectly) "3 x 9= 27, +2 " but that £2 does not exist, that £2 comes out of the 3x£9
so really it should say:
3 x 9= 27, -2 = 25
or
3 x 10= 30, -2 = 28, -3 = 25
my 1st explanation is below but it doesn't really satisfy the riddle as the answer above does!!!
the pound has not gone anywhere.
there is a total of £30 floating about.
the room cost £25: £5 left to account for
the 3 people got £1 each (totaling £3): £2 left to account for
Bellboy get the remaining £2 (cos you cant split 2 coins between 3 people)
= £0 left to account for, all's well..........Last edited by theYAK; 02-04-2009, 08:45 PM.

if you have listened to the gervais podcasts you will most likely know this one..
2 doors, 1 goes to heavan 1 goes to hell.
a guard stands in front of each door. (guard A and guard B)
1 guard can only lie, the other guard can only tell the truth.
you dont konw which one is which
you are allowd to ask only 1 question, you can ask it to either guard A or guard B.
what question do you ask to work out which is the door to heaven??
