A Discount Rate - Solution

SOLUTION:

Total Hotel Rate is S$25.00, divided by 3 persons should be S$8.3333333
Each person was return S$1.00, that made S$9.333333 instead of S$9.00

                S$0.33333 x 3 = S$1.00

The answer: The dollar was returned to these three men.



When this problem sum was dropped in my mail box one evening, I spent hours thinking about the solution.  I was upset after a while because it was such a simple question, yet I could not get the answer.  Feeling abit frustrated I closed up my notebook and decided to go to bed.  I woke up the next morning still in daze, this problem sum flashed across my mind.  I decided to revisit the question again.  Within 15 mins, I found the answer.  Phew, amazing.... still figuring out the reason.

As the question is rather tricky, as I link it to our daily lives.... very often I just see things as per what is heard, read and saw, and I act based on my perception.  Some misconceptions are due to our background, culture, genes and brought up.  Do not let our misception mislead us in decision making.  There are alway some unlying hints that are hidden in every tricky situation. 

Self realization is very important for me to see breakthroughs in my life everyday.  I could see deeper into each situation or problems I encounter where I could learn from everyday.  From these encounters which make up my experiences enable me to share with my friends everywhere.

Have a blessed week ahead.
