Have been tied up with a few other things, so could not really catch up on the daily updates on my blog. Anyway, it is better late than never, and so I will start from today.
Shall we solve some puzzles this month? Here is the first one.
Three people check into a hotel. They pay £30 to the manager and go to
their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is £25 and
gives £5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room
the bellboy reasons that £5 would be difficult to share among three
people so he pockets £2 and gives £1 to each person. Now each person
paid £10 and got back £1. So they paid £9 each, totalling £27. The
bellboy has £2, totalling £29. Where is the missing £1?
Try your hand with this, and post your answers if you can solve it.
Solution to this puzzle will be announced tomorrow :)
Cheers!
