I don't have a copy, but you can always check online -- or your local 
library, for the ebook version?

Remember Jeff's ringtone, set by Walter, when it goes off in the elevator?

How much you want to bet Walter saw him go into the crowded elevator, then
called him?

Daddy, I only have two!
Well, son, I guess you'll know better than to cough when anyone's holding 
your jewels; a young one like you; he'll get $250K easy for that one he took
offen yas!

That was 28/13=7 that I gave you the link for!

I hadn't seem the change making one:

How much could he have made off of him, eh? If he'd kept going. . .

Find the missing dollar:

Three guests check into a hotel room. The manager says the bill is $30, so
each guest pays $10. Later the manager realizes the bill should only have 
been $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 as five one-dollar bills 
to return to the guests.

On the way to the guests' room to refund the money, the bellhop realizes that
he cannot equally divide the five one-dollar bills among the three guests. As
the guests are not aware of the total of the revised bill, the bellhop 
decides to just give each guest $1 back and keep $2 as a tip for himself, and
proceeds to do so.

As each guest got $1 back, each guest only paid $9, bringing the total paid 
to $27. The bellhop kept $2, which when added to the $27, comes to $29. So if
the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

There seems to be a discrepancy, as there cannot be two answers ($29 and $30)
to the math problem. On the one hand it is true that the $25 in the register,
the $3 returned to the guests, and the $2 kept by the bellhop add up to $30,
but on the other hand, the $27 paid by the guests and the $2 kept by the
bellhop add up to only $29.

Your friend,
