i made up a puzzle see if you can work it out 
3 girls check into a hotel , the hotelier , says it £30 for the room !
the girls hand over £10 each
but after checking in the hotelier says to the bell boy
''ave charged these girls £5 to much ,
''go give them it back''
on the way to the room he looks at the 5 £1 coins and thinks
how am i going to split it 3 ways ,
so he decides to keep £2 and gives the girls a pound each !
so they have payed £27 plus the £2 the bell boy kept
that adds up to £29 . so where has the missing pound gone !

I doubt that Claridge's 'do' Rooms by the, "hour," - Mr_Mustang.
CLARIDGE'S Room Only From £930.00 per night (inclusive of all taxes) For your selected dates, this is the best price you'll find for your stay at Claridge's. -------------- You would probably have to pay the young lady 'by the hour', though. |
