The 2 teams you are talking about weren't playing in this game? Like they had a game of their own and the game that was 10-6 was between 2 other teams? Heck I dunno. LOL

They were all married? I hope they weren't out playing this game on Valentines day, or none of them will be married when they get home.

haha
ok
3 guys are traveling together...they get tired so the decide to stop at a hotel...the man at the front desks says that it will be #30.00. So each man gives the man at the front desk $10.00...Later the man at the front desk discoveres that he overcharged them by $5...so he gave the $5 to the bellman to give back to the 3 men...well the bellman decided that you couldnt split $5 evenly between 3 men so he gave each of them a dollar back and kept two dollars for himself...well since each guy got one dollar back then that means that each paid $9 for the room...and 9 times 3 equals $27...and remember the bellman kept 2 dollars for himslef which equals $29...so where is the other dollar at?
hmmmmmmmm
Lets see if anyone can get this one...I'm sure you all will be able to!

Its actually all there. The hotel has 25 the bellman has 2 and the guys have 3. Total of 30.
Posted Mon Feb 14, 2005 11:01 pm:
I put down that they paid 9.33 each then I woke up.

But why does 9 times 3 = 27 plus the bellman's 2 not equal 30?
02-15-2005, 01:05 AM
Beat me to it... the way people want to immediately look at it is the way the puzzle suggests.
The hotel has $25, the men each have $1 for a total of $3, and the bellhop has $2. $25+3+2 = $30.
There is no other dollar.

They should have only paid 8.33 per person but since the bellman kept the 2 dollars they each lost .66 cents.
I guess that was his tip.

02-15-2005, 01:16 AM

02-15-2005, 01:17 AM

If you are in a room with an all southern exposure, and a bear walks by what color will he be and why
It is simple

White because you're at the north pole.

I am slow today. I was sitting on the 1st page clicking refresh waiting for a new message to be posted. I didn't realize there was a 2nd page already. Violence4:
But I agree totally. The room has an all southern exposure because it is sitting at the exact point of north, which is the north pole. Every way you look has to be south. And we all know you won't find a black bear at the north pole.
