75298 2002-09-01 10:09:00 Good one Mike. :-) Did you "help" Michal to buy them? :D


Baldy: I thought I'd better not buy him a mouse. I was worried that he might get me a really good fishing rod and reel for next mothers' day - and then take it off me and give me his old one!!

:O Actually, I just remembered that there's still a box of Roses hidden in the cupboard that he was supposed to have! Oh heck!

Hmmm, what he doesn't know won't hurt him though...

OK Sam, the caramel 1s r 4 u and the toffee and turkish delight 1s r 4 me. The rest of you will hafta b quik! :D

no :) Sarah and Michal bought them without telling me... I helped Michal pick out the new 40gb drive that I got "as a father's day present" a couple of weeks ago :p

75303 2002-09-02 04:37:00 Ok, Figure this out!

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25,SO HESENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5.

ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE
OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.

THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.


WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

75304 2002-09-02 04:49:00 You would need to apply Kirchoff's Law, and look at it from the other end.

The proprietor has $25, the bellboy $5 That equals $30.
Or, the bellboy has $2, the men $3 (=$5) and the proprietor has $25 (=$30)
Its just that the bellboys money was part of the room rental initially paid.
