Moses was the son of Pharoah's daughter.
He was also the daughter of Pharoah's son.

how come....??

[bumblelady]

The bellboy should have given them all £1.666666667 pence back each but he didn't. He gave them £1 each.
0.66666667 pence x 3 = £2.
So in fact, every person has paid £9.33333333 (£10 - 0.66666667).
3 x £9.33333333 = £28.
Plus £2 for the bellboy equal £30.
So there!
The answer to this puzzle is "Don't round up all the figures!

We have to be careful what we are adding together. Originally, they paid £30, they each received back £1, thus they now have only paid £27. Of this £27, £25 went to the manager for the room and £2 went to the bellboy.

'fraid not dean ( I heard it from me Dad ), I'll wait for a few more guesses before giving the answer.

[dondons69]

dean it can never be found as it's a riddle of numbers me and bumble got it right!

[childofthe80's]

I think the pharoah riddle is a trick question...because it says that HE was a daughter....that is impossible that a HE can be one

[SpiralCoolStuff]

maybe he had a sex change?

[childofthe80's]

lol possibly...now all we wait for is a response

[Aidan]

.....drum roll.....

Assume that Pharoah's daughter was called, say, Sharon.
Moses was the son of ( Pharoah's Daughter a.k.a. Sharon ),
He was also ( the Daughter of Pharoah a.k.a. Sharon )'s son.
