  • Haha. Internet is Serious business.

  • LOL yeah but you get the point. I mean actually the riddle is flawed because they wouldn't pay $9 each for $5 which was split incorrectly anyway... They would each have to pay $9 point something never ending for $5 which is impossible to do practically anyway but its the true sum. Does anyone get my drift?

  • Actually, the riddle isn't flawed, it's intentionally misleading. There are two possible equations:

    1) Who Paid What?

    (9x3)-2=25

    9 paid by each guy and 2 stolen by the employee.

    2) Where the $ Ends Up

    25+(1x3)+2=30

    25 with the hotel, 1 with each guy, and 2 with the employee.

    So the riddle gets you started adding Eq. 1),"who paid what", (9x3...), but then forces you into Eq. 2), "where the $ ends up", (...+2=30), which will never add up, because they aren't the same equation.

  • Lolz yes but they don't pay $9 each for $5 split wrong. So if the riddle says that they therefore pay $9 each, that's a lie so to me its flawed. Its like saying right 1+1=5 so if you take 1+1 away from 7 why do you get 5?

  • They did pay $9 each. They gave $10 and got $1 back. 10-1=9

  • It claims that due to an INCORRECT DIVISION that they pay $9 each... if the $5 was split correctly which is impossible with money then they would not pay $9 each they would pay $9 POINT something. that something would add up to the missing pound. It expects you to believe a claim based on an incorrect division. ? lolz

  • If the $5 was split correctly, they wouldn't have each paid 9 "POINT" something. They would have paid $8 "POINT" something, because they got $1 "POINT" something back, then you'd be missing more than a dollar. I already explained this perfectly. If you really want to get it, go read it again.

  • @johnmarkdyer yes I got the $9 POINT something wrong lolz but well done you did explain it beaut, bravo... but still the statement that they pay $9 each is incorrect when you incorrectly divide $5 each on the basis of, its impossible with money. I do agree though that they shouldn't bother with trying to get up to $30 lolz

  • haha best response ever

    love how you sound sleepy and like you completely don't care.

  • lol, youre funny (and correct) :)

  • it's in the wording of the problem. If you split the five up correctly, the doods shoulda got about $1.65 back making the ind. cost $8.34, not nine. The bellboy would have had to tell them that the room cost $27 to get away with taking the two but that don't @#$%in' make it so. So, it's either the room cost 27 and they each got $1 (and let's not mention the bellhop;-[) or the room was $25 , they got $1 and the bell hop is a thief. You can't have your room and an honest bellhop too.

  • this problem there are more then one way to solve, and each guy didn't pay 9 each, cause realy if the room was 25 and they split it, it be 8.333 repeating or 8.34 x by 3 25, add the 2 27 add the 3 30... basicly the math was wrong to confuse people, the nine was the trick number... but thats one way to solve it.

    i awsered it in the comment with a full math deduction which is shorter then this... on the orignal video

  • OMG!! FUNNIEST VIDEO RESPONSE EVER. and im not even sure why.... lol

  • lol gj

  • my way of explaining it:

    when they paid 30 but were supposed to pay 25. that means each person would be paying 8 and then there would be an extra $1 because 8x3=24 and the amount was 25 which is an extra $1(cuz it isnt easy to divide it between 3 men) . So when he gives back 3 dollars meaning each person a dollar. so now each person payed $9 plus the extra dollar plus the 2 that the guy took = 30 .i hope that made sense, if not i could explain it again.

  • im glad you took the time to make this

  • hahah OH BURN!~! Bitch smack those nerds haha nice!

  • haha

  • good explanation. short & sweet.

    sidenote:

    whoever said 'she's a idiot'...

    is an idiot.

    you don't say 'a idiot'

    you say 'an idiot'

    *sigh

  • haha, good point.

  • you tell her! JMD! thats right stick it too her!!

  • OMG you're so Cute!!! haha nice haircut bro. lookin sharp

  • your so hot uhh

  • hahaha, as if anyone should even try and take you on in maths!

  • cute and smart :)

  • shes a idiot!

  • but they all gave 30 to begin with so it should all add up to 30 the 5 they get back or should get back and the 25 that they had to pay

  • it does add up to 30

    hotel= $25 [what they payed for the room]

    bellboy= $2

    men= $3 [$1 each given by bellboy] ____

    $30

  • She's a friggen idiot...

  • lmao

  • hahahahaha i love it!
