0 Guest Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 He cuts the 3rd ring of teh chain. So there is a single ring that is cut,a two rings that are linked and a four-linked rings. Day 1: he gives the single cut ring Day 2: He asks the single cut ring from manager and gives him the two-linked rings. Day 3:He gives the single cut ring (total -3 rings) Day 4:He gives teh single chain consisting of 4 rings and takes the three rings that he had given previously Day 5: he gives the single cut ring (total :5 rings) Day 6:he takes the single cut ring back and gives the two-liked rings (total=6 rings) Day 7: He gives the single cut ring(total =7 rings) In this way he pays for all the 7 days that he stayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
