The Ultimate Quiz..

yea...wondering why i named this "THE ULTIMATE QUIZ" ?

read it for yourself..
solve it write me a comment.. i'll take it...=p
its just a really confusing article i took from a friend of mine..
thanks adel... =p

here....

3 boys went to stay in a hostel. One night's stay costs RM30. They took one room and shared for the night, each boy paying RM10. When the receptionist rechecked the payment, it was actually only RM25 for that night, not RM30. This means the boys paid an extra cash of RM5.


Being honest, the receptionist called the bellboy on duty to return the RM5 to the boys. The bellboy thought to himself, how could he divide RM5 among 3 boys? It would be unfair to give RM2 to Boy1, RM2 to Boy2, and RM1 to Boy3. So he decided to keep RM2 as tip, and divided RM3 equally among the boys. Each boy got a refund of RM1, meaning they each paid RM9 for the stay, amounting to RM27. (RM9 x 3boys = RM27)

So if you count carefully, RM27 + RM2(bellboy self-tip) = RM29. But they paid RM30 earlier that time. So what happened to the other RM1?






still wondering is there anyone out there who can solve this crazy yet confusing question..

where not teachers can solve.
