3 guys walk into a hotel. they each pay 10 dollars (30 dollars total) to pay for the room they will share. later, the receptionist realizes that the room costs 25 dollars, and they overpaid. to compensate, she sends the bellhop up to the room with 5 dollars to reimburse the men. on the way up, the bellhop desides that he doesn't want to split 5 dollars between 3 guys. he puts 2 dollars in his pocket and gives each guy 1 dollar back.
so each guy paid 10 originally, and got 1 dollar back. after that transaction, each guy paid 9 dollars for the room. 9x3 is 27 and the bellboy pocketted 2 dollars. 27 + 2 is 29. the guys originally paid 30 dollars. where did the other dollar go??

If they paid 27 dollars for a 25 dollar room then they should complain that they want the rest of their money and get the bellboy fired.
(you're trying to apply the old balance to the new equation)

Its supposed to be 30 -2 = 28
Or 9 x 3= 27 + 3 (the dude gave back) = 30

Poor math.
Each guy actually paid $8.33 for the room, not $9

One hour = 3600 sec. =60 min/hr x 60 sec/min 3600sec/500 photographs = 7.2 sec/photograph (it extremely is assuming 0 time between photographs) Zip through them without postpone as no time is alloted between photographs.
