Title: Where did it go..?!!!! Post by: Shogun112 on August 15, 2007, 12:19:51 PM Three Guys, they share a house, they go to rent a television between them!
They All Put £10 each into the kitty! Total In the kitty = £30 At The Rental Shop the cost for the rental is lower than they expect at only £25! This means they have £5 change from the £30 in the kitty! They each take £1 back meaning they each paid £9 with £2 left in the kitty! Lets Do The Maths 3 x £9 = £27 Left In Kitty = £2 TOTAL = £29 What has happened to the other £1..?? Remember we started off with £30 ..!!! Title: Re: Where did it go..?!!!!

The answer is that the rental shop kept the £1 as rake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_dollar_paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_dollar_paradox) Title: Re: Where did it go..?!!!!

You cant add the kitty to whats paid in, the kitty is part of that amount so its 3* £9 = £27 paid in (or £30 - £3) minus the rental = -25 = £2 kitty nothing missing Title: Re: Where did it go..?!!!!
