3 people have $10 each and all decide to buy a stereo which is $30.

they make the purchase but on the way out the store clerk realises the stereo is only $25 but he cant decide how to split up the $5 change evenly,so he gives them all a dollar each and keeps $2 for himself.

now this means they only put in $9 each.

3x9=27

27+2=29

where the fuck is the other dollar????

 

im shit as at maths but can someone please figure this out,its being doing my head in all day.

i assume that 11 in binary is 10?

 

11 = 3

 

0 = 0

1 = 1

10 = 2

11 = 3

100 = 4

101 = 5 (4 -> 5 is what confuses most people)

110 = 6 and so on and so forth.

 

a binary 1 represents where along the base2 scale where a number is

 

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 (0)

--------------------1 1---- = 3 (aka, a 2 and a 1)

------1--0--0--1-02------ = 74 (aka a 64, an 8 and a 2)

 

Anyways...
