Three bikers turn up at a rally and pay £30 to get in, as they ride through one of the blokes on the desk realizes they are entitled to a discount and that because the three are together they should have only paid £25.. he gives his mate £5 and asks him to find them and give them their change..on the way to find them the mate can't decide how to split the £5 between 3 so he gives them £1 each, and keeps £2...now they have each paid £9...that is a total of £27 plus the £2 the mate kept makes £29...what happened to the other £1 :confused:

beer fund :D
Bastard.
I only get four hours sleep at night at the best of times, even less when there's a maffmatickal problem i can't figure out.
So.
They never paid £9, they paid £9.33333... each to start with.
Quid back each, so they'd then paid £8.33333... each, plus a couple nicker for the artful dodger there, it's the two quid what's at large 'ere, and that's in fingers's pocket.
:confused: :confused: :confused: :mad:
Thats the best answer I have ever sen for that problem! :D
ha ha ha ...i'm crap at maths so while I was reading this i had a brass band playing in my head homer simpson style :D

Not having it.
They eventually paid £9 each, of which £25 covered their correct fee, there's two quid floating, which raffles has got.
He's still getting a fúcker, even if i'm wrong, for frying me head for less than the price of a pint. :mad:

John, fer christsakes, it's a bloody Monday mornin', I've been partyin' all weekend an' now you throw in a fucker. I'm like a fuckin' rabbit in the headlites this mornin'. Bastard.

They paid £30, an' then they got a quid back each. I think they should be bloody happy that they got a minor result. Fingers got £2 so he's happy too. Now £25 + £3 + £2 makes £30, there is no spare £1. It's like tellin' my kids I have 11 fingers, countin' the first five backwards to 6 an' addin' the other 5. Stop fuckin' with my head an' I'll go get meself anutha cuppa.

Nothing happend to the other pound.
You don't add the two pounds to the £27 you should take it off to give £25 which is what was kept at the gate.
So it all works out.
Do I win a prize? :D

Hi John. You will find me in the Blues an' Country Rock Bar most of the weekend. Either there or on the British Legion Riders Branch stand in the mornin's at some point.
Ere you go then John, A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys.
How can this be possible?

ALL the children are boys, so 1/2 half are boys and so are the other half. :p
or she has at least 4 boys that more than half are boys but half are indeed boys
