Guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Guest number 2 would have been quite disgusted over being ignored the entire time and taken his business to another hotel which was more attentive to it's guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 It never says that all 13 people came in at once. You assume that they do but it would be impossible for them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Too bad the forth guest wasn't taken to a room, just the number 3, so he is stuck out in the hall, which is it's own room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 i was part of this party. and the thirteenth was a beautiful red head so i didn't mind putting her up for the night.... great puzzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hotel - Back to the Logic Puzzles 13 men came into a hotel with 12 rooms and everybody wanted his own room. The bellboy solved this problem. He asked the thirteenth guest to wait a moment with the first guest in room number 1. So in the first room there were two people. The bellboy took the third guest to room number 2, the fourth to number 3, ... and the twelfth guest to room number 11. Then he returned to room number 1 and took the thirteenth guest to empty room number 12. How can everybody have his own room? Hotel - solution Of course, it is impossible. Into the second room should have gone the 2nd guest, because the 13th guest was waiting in room number 1. Still not all 13 have their own room... u r counting the 2nd guest as 13th but still the actual 13th guest is not having any room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 could it b possible that one of the men was the bellboy, and maybe he did not WANT a room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoaDay Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 you find a way to legally kick one out and then everyone gets a room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 This one is tricky,but you have to pay attention.I think someone told this before but I'm gonna repeat it.You're counting the thirteenth guest twice.Sice it waits with the frist onn in room #1,this makes him both guestt #2 and guest#13 at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Well there is a solution. The bellboy carried their bags in with them so he is the 2nd man. He wants his room, in his house. As in he is tired. (I know, its a stretch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 they all get their own room because #2 leaves the hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 AHHHHH, Took me a minute... But I got it.. Your counting the 13th guest twice. Both as one of the first 2 guests in room 1, AND the 13th guest. Impossible. Gotcha..lol Sucks to be the lucky number 13 in this situation, huh?? Yeah, I would say not... I was really truely born on Friday the 13th in September. How is that for an "Unlucky" surprise??? I don't like people who affend the number 13, that's my lucky number. I'd take that back if I was you... The "Bug" Box... Yeah... for you... I changed what you wrote, Unlucky to Lucky... And I thank me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 why r u all arguing over the same answer? The final, and only answer is: It is impossible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 yup. totally impossible to do. the 2nd guy wouldn't have a room, so they would either have to pair up or find another hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 hillarious banebrain.... let him sleep in the elevator... just give him a pillow and say sleep. loll. but i think that the bellboy convinced the second guest to go somewhere else, gave him a 500 dollar bill and said have at it honey see ya later.... loll.

Guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 if its a floor then its impossible. If its a room with more rooms in it (lets say the living room and twelve more rooms) then the 2nd guy would sleep in the living room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 technically halls are rooms so leave a guy out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 They could do it with less rooms if they sleep in shifts and each are allowed a certain amount of time in there OWN room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 if the 12 rooms were not merely numbered 1-12 and one of the rooms was numbered 0 then the first guest could go to room 0 even though there were only 12 rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 If we assume the bellboy is one of those 13 people, it works out flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
