But there is a place where yesterday always follows today! a dictionary [B] the missing gold coin[/B] three friends check into an inn which costs 30 GP a night. Each pulls out 10 GP and hand it to the innkeeper. That night, the innkeeper realised that he overcharged by 5 GP and tells a worker to return 5 GP to the group. On the way, the worker decides that it is hard to split the five GP and so pockets two,a nd returns three. The three frinds paid 9 GP each (10 and receive back one) and the worker pocketed two GP. Which adds up to 29. But when checkin in, they paid 30 GP total. what happened to the one GP? answer- the originally paid 30 GP. But the innskeeper returned 5 which meant that they paid 25gp (or 8.3333333 each). they got back one each ([COLOR=orange]8.333333+1[/COLOR]=9.33333 each, 28 total) and the worker has two ([COLOR=orange]8.333333(25/3)+1(3/3)+.66666666(2/3)[/COLOR]= 10 each, 30 total) it's kinda tricky (edit in orange) [/QUOTE]
