Question:
Three men decide to stay at a Hotel and pay $10.00 each or $30.00 to the manager for the night. The manager decides that this was to much for them to pay and gives the Bell Man $5.00 to give back to the 3 guests. The Bell-Man pockets $2.00 and gives the remaining $3.0 0 back to the three guests or gives back one dollar to each guest. As a result each guest paid the manager $9.00 for the room (the original $10.00 less the dollar that the Bell Man gave him). So the question is if each of three guests paid $9.00 or $27.00 and the Bell Man kept $2.00 this only totals $29.00.

What happened to the other dollar when the guests originally paid $30.00?

Question:
Lynsey is a biology student. Her project for this term is measuring the effect of an increase in vitamin C in the diet of twenty-five laboratory mice. Each mouse will have a different diet supplement between 50 units. Fractions of a unit are not possible.

Although the university pays for the mice's food, Lynsey has to buy the vitamin C supplement herself. The first consideration in designing this experiment was therefore to minimize the total number of supplements.

The second consideration was that no mouse should have an exact multiple of another mouse's supplement. Thus, if one mouse was on a supplement then this would preclude supplements of 1, 2, 7, 28, and 42 units.

What supplements should Lynsey use?
