Re: [H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser
Also, in the original, the following is a mis-direct: "Now, each guy renting the room has paid $9, and the bell boy keeps $2: $2 + (3 x $9) = $29" The $2 the bell boy keeps is part of the 3 x $9 paid by the 3 guys. The two amounts should NOT be added together.

Re: [H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser
Boy 1: -$10 + $1 = -$9 Boy 2: -$10 + $1 = -$9 Boy 3: -$10 + $1 = -$9 Bellhop: $5 - $3 = $2 Register: $30 - $5 = $25 - Cash Unaccounted for = $0 The 3 boys paid a total of $27 dollars ($9 each), $25 to the hotel, $2 to the bellboy. We get stuck on the $30 dollar figure which is no long relevant.

Re: [H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser
I like that one too... Rick Glazier From: "James Maki" They started with $10 each and ended up with $1 each, how could they have paid $9.3? From: Chris Reeves He can't do math. They gave him 30. He's holding 5. That means they kicked in 25 total, or 8. per each. Give each $1, and they all gave 9 and 1/3 basically. Which leaves $2 left. The end. :)

Re: [H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser
I'll buy that... Pretty fast. (Now go back and do the first one...) Answer: Where did the missing $1 go? === Before: $0 in cash register $0 in bellboy's pocket $10 in each man's pocket (x3) $30 total After: $25 in cash register $2 in bellboy's pocket $1 in each man's pocket (x3) $30 total Rick Glazier - Original Message - From: "Chris Reeves" He can't do math. They gave him 30. He's holding 5. That means they kicked in 25 total, or 8. per each. Give each $1, and they all gave 9 and 1/3 basically. Which leaves $2 left. The end. :)

[H] HTPC Remote?
Looking for a good universal remote for my HTPC and was wondering what the list uses. I have been playing with the Harmony 550 and I like it but it is IR only and AFAIK I need RF to work with the HTPC. Definitely would like something that can be programmed via the PC like the Harmony line by just telling it what components I have. Also an "action" menu with macros to do different things is really desirable --- Brian Weeden
Re: [H] OT Brain Teaser
As long as we agree they are in the bus, and one of the girls (or cats?) is driving, (or there is no driver), 10990 Rick Glazier - Original Message - From: "Mike" I got 1582.
Re: [H] OT Brain Teaser
I got 1582. 7 Girls = 14 49 Big Cats = 196 343 Little Cats = 1372 Or am I getting more and more confused each time I read it?
