Remember Jeff's ringtone, set by Walter, when it goes off in the elevator? How much you want to bet Walter saw him go into the crowded elevator, then called him? > GP> more so when the doctor grabnbed hold opf his little sensitives, down > GP> under.

Well, son, I guess you'll know better than to cough when anyone's holding your jewels; a young one like you; he'll get $250K easy for that one he took offen yas! > I loved their "two tens for a five", and "13 times 7 equals 28". That was 28/13=7 that I gave you the link for! I hadn't seem the change making one: https://youtu.be/f7pMYHn-1yA How much could he have made off of him, eh? If he'd kept going. . . Find the missing dollar: Three guests check into a hotel room. The manager says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the manager realizes the bill should only have been $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 as five one-dollar bills to return to the guests. On the way to the guests' room to refund the money, the bellhop realizes that he cannot equally divide the five one-dollar bills among the three guests. As the guests are not aware of the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 back and keep $2 as a tip for himself, and proceeds to do so. As each guest got $1 back, each guest only paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop kept $2, which when added to the $27, comes to $29. So if the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1? There seems to be a discrepancy, as there cannot be two answers ($29 and $30) to the math problem. On the one hand it is true that the $25 in the register, the $3 returned to the guests, and the $2 kept by the bellhop add up to $30, but on the other hand, the $27 paid by the guests and the $2 kept by the bellhop add up to only $29.
