Sorry for the lack of posts, it's been a hectic week and this week looks just as busy. To give you an idea of what a day as me looks like, here's today's schedule: Gym, home to shower and get ready, Admissions Group Presentation, Library to work on MQP, MQP meeting with our advisor, giving blood at the on campus blood drive, back to the library to study for my midterm tomorrow, back to admissions to interview prospective tour guides, going to Lunenburg to coach my girls' game, home around 10 pm. As you can see I like to stay busy... any who to hold you over until my next riveting post here's a little math riddle for you!
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 HE SENT 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?
