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:

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:

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

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
