it's £ 25 or £ 30 depending on which way you look at it.The error comes when you add the Bellhops £2 to the £ 27 as the £2 is included in the £27.
They all pay £9, whhich is £27 two pound of which the bellhop takes = £ 25 which is the price of the room.erm... I thinkthat's it anyway.
Aha - yes, correct. And a kudos for Rubes also.
Thinking hurts!

Quote: Stan Doubt @ September 11 2009, 1:44 PM BSTIt is 8am. On the way to critique a five new sitcoms, you notice a boat in the BSG harbour has a ladder on it's side with twelve rungs. The rungs alternate 1 foot and 0.5 foot distance, starting with 0.5 foot. Two are submerged. The tide is rising at 0.3 feet an hour. After reviewing all five sitcoms - all BBC Three, with no ad breaks - how many more rungs will be submerged?
No more. Still two submerged.

Above is the number '9' in roman numerals. With one press of the keyboard (without deleting the whole puzzle), turn it into a '6'.
*edit* - the 'b's are blanks - the posting software removes spaces!! It may help to draw it.

I got the same answer from the opposite direction. £25 for the room, plus £2 for the bellhop plus £3 in refunds = £30.
