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.

:tard:

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

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?

so can someone point out the flaw and if this is a genuine paradox write me a check for a billion dollars. Im not doing math problems for money but I figure if I proove our understanding of space is inconsistant it would be nice to have a billion dollars
