"God geometrizes" says Plato.
and here is the analytical continuation of this saying:
Biologists think they are biochemists,
Biochemists think they are Physical Chemists,
Physical Chemists think they are Physicists,
Physicists think they are Gods,
And God thinks he is a Mathematician.

Now, please have fun to these below words....
Three men agree to share a cab from the airport into town. When they arrive, the meter reads $25. Each man gives the driver a $10 bill. She hands them five $1 bills as change. Each man takes one of the $1 bills. They give the driver the remaining two $1 bills as a tip.
Each man has now spent nine dollars and the driver has two dollars for a total of $29. Where is the other dollar?
Your challenge is to explain this paradox.
1 comment:
Actually, the cab fare is $25 + tip $2 (2x$1). So the total spending is $27.
So this equation corresponds very well with that three men's spending $27 (3x$9).
You'll get lost in this story if you add up the tip to that three men's spending, because the tip is already in the spending.
If you ever wanna get the spending round up to $30 (3x$10), try to add up the change $3 (3x$1).
Gut lak.. :D
