the mistake in your situation is that you're adding the 2dollar tip, wrongly. Each of them paid 9dollars: 'a' paid 9 dollars for the room while 'b' and 'c' paid 8 (but each gave a dollar more for the 2dollar tip), so they spent 27dollars. That leaves them with the 3dollars they split.

There is no extra dollar.
A Pays $10 B Pays $10 C Pays $10 = $30
The manager cuts a deal and they end up with $5 left over.
Each person gets $1 back
$5-$3=$2
That $2 goes to manager as a tip.
OR
$25 / 3 people = $8.333 $8.333 + $1 returned = $9.33 $9.333 x 3 people = $28 $28 +$2 tip = $30

On the bill, one guy had to bite the bullet and pay an extra cent, on a discount. $8.34 vs. $8.33.
On the tip, two paid $0.67 and one paid $0.66
That leaves $3 that was split between the three.
But that's if you split it up evenly. You can split it up any way you want. Maybe one guy stiffed $2 on the bill that the two others pulled together on, but then paid the whole tip. Bill: $11x2+$3 tip: guy3-$2

so what is with this time warner comercial in which they show hexagonal arrays and hexagons being superimposed on hexagons and the jack in the box cups showing a vertical chain of hexagons. can you point out the flaw in the new paper. I found flaws in all the papers except this one. can someone point out the flaw.

your right my paper is obviously flawed. Ill take a look at the paper in the last post but I dont want to be trolling and I dont have axcess to a computer all the time. would someone like to build an exact model of a dodecahedron and compare it to the volume of a cube that has volume 7.66 using cerial?
