• Title: The Ghost Room
• Category: Uncategorized
• Riddle: I own a hotel. It"s not a large hotel mind. Just a little place for passing people to drop by and spend the night if need be. After all I do only have nine rooms available. Considering how humble my little hotel was I thought nine was all I would need. Boy was I wrong. My hotel was completely empty for a while but one night ten people barged in all at once. Ten! Ten is a fine number to have in a day but could you imagine they all came at once! And what"s more none of the ten were together - they were ten individuals wanting a room each! As you can tell fitting ten people into a nine room hotel was a slight problem. But by thinking on my feet I solved the problem without delay. I put the first two people in room 1. I know I said they wanted a room each but bear with me for a moment. I then put the third person in room 2 the fourth in room 3 the fifth in room 4 the sixth in room 5 the seventh in room 6 the eighth in room 7 and then ninth in room 8. Now I still have room 9 left over and guess what? I still had the pair in room 1. So I took out one person and put him in room 9 thus fitting the tenth person in the ninth room. Would you make a good hotel owner - do you have any idea how my little magic worked here?
