Page 1 of DO NOT READ JUST B4 BED, the answer!

Well you have had the answer in one form, but to expand on it a little

you need to take the £20 the sales man is down the pub with and split it between the the 3 brothers then add this on to the £10 each they had back they each think they paid.

so £20 / 3 = 6.6666666666666666666666666666667

+ 10 = 16.666666666666666666666666666667

now take this from the £100 = £83.33333333333333333333333333334

and this is how much they paid each, so in total it is £250

add the £30 = £280 (£10 each they were given back)
and now add the £20 the sales man is in the pub with and you get your £300 they started with.

I started to put the answer in the other thread (and getting it wrong might I add), dont know why but it has put what I started in the other thread and now it wont let me edit it out.

so dont pay any notice to what is in that thread from me.

I thought they had bought it from dixons and that was why it was fu*ked up.

All the best,

No, don`t get it. It seems to use the money twice.

"you need to take the £20 the sales man is down the pub with and split it between the the 3 brothers then add this on to the £10 each they had back they each think they paid.

so £20 / 3 = 6.6666666666666666666666666666667

+ 10 = 16.666666666666666666666666666667"

THEN

"add the £30 = £280 (£10 each they were given back)
and now add the £20 the sales man is in the pub with and you get your £300 they started with"

Please explain again, I must be thicker than a thick thing from thick land, I just don`t see it
