Problem # k + 60
Three men walk into a motel and ask for a room. The desk clerk says a room is $30 so each man pays $10 towards the cost. Later, the clerk realizes he made a mistake, that the room should have been $25. He calls the bell boy over and asks him to refund the other $5 to the three men. The bellboy, not wanting to mess with a lot of change dividing the $5 three ways, decides to lie about the price, refunding each man $1 and keeping the other $2 for himself. Ultimately each man paid $9 towards the room and the bellboy got $2, totaling $29. But the original charge was $30, where did the extra $1 go?

Another stupid question:
A man was born in 1969 and died in 1989. He was 25 years of age when he died. How?

To irspow:
Sir,
In your solution for Problem # k + 58,
you have posted
A = sh/2 = [3a(3a^2)^(1/2)] / 4 = a( 3 + 3^(1/2)) / 4 ≈ 1.183a
It should be [3√(3)*a²]/4.
Solution to problem # k + 59 is not correct.

Had that condition not been given, the solution would have been simple, as you had posted, Sir. The dome is not a perfect hemishphere. It resembles an ellipsoid.
Maybe, this link would be of some help in determining the surface area.

Contradiction!

Problem # k + 59
A sum of money invested for a certain number of years at 8% p.a. simple interest grows to $180. The same sum of money invested for the same number of years at 4% p.a. simple interest grows to $120 only. For how many years was the sum invested?
