E. is the correct answer...
This one will require a bit more thought... It's not hard, it's just not obvious... |

Going to start you off on a savings plan.
Picture a 31 day calendar month. On day 1, I'll give you 1 cent. All I want you to do is double the amount each day until the end of the month. You may want a calculator or Excel to help you, but it's more fun guessing first how much you think you'll have at the end.

Three guys go hunting, as it is starting to get dark they stumble upon a hunting lodge. Amongst themselves they agree to see about getting a room for the night. Upon entering the establishment they ask the hostess what a room for the night will cost them. She replies, "30 Dollars". The guys agree and each decided to pay 1/3 of the costs, or 10 dollars each. A few minutes later the hostess realizes she made a mistake, and they are having a special and rooms are only 25 dollars a night. She calls over the bag boy and hands him 5 dollars in one dollar bills, asking him to go give it to the guys that just checked in. On the way to their room the bag boy thinks to himself. There are only 3 of them, and I have 5. He decides to keep two for himself as a tip, and give each of them a dollar back.
So after the one dollar refund the three guys each paid $9. 9x3 = 27 If the bag boy kept 2 27+2 = 29. If they originally paid $30, where did the other dollar go? |

If they had originally been charged $25, each would have paid $8.33 (one would have had to kick in an extra penny). They were each given a dollar but should have got a $1.67.
.67 x 3 = ~ $2.00. It didn't really "go" anywhere...just depends on how you account for it! If the lodge had just refunded all their money (except for what the bag boy stole), they would have gotten $28 ($9.33 each). Edited by jonoMT - December/10/2011 at 16:53 |

That is a funny one, Thundey, but it is just an illusion. They only paid $27 all together. That is $25 for the bill and $2 for the tip. They didn't pay $27 for the room.
Tricky, tricky. |

Some good mental gymnastics going on...
Of course, 10 is correct. Whenever in doubt... draw a picture. Good graphic, jon.

I'm thinking E(4) too... The line crosses the Y-axis 4 times. It's gotta go through .2 4 times somewheres along each curve.
