luckymucklebackit Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Well if there are infinite rooms he’s not going to run out of rooms. Kinda simple. Surely the wording "all of which are currently occupied" is the important statement in this riddle - so the hotelier has to turn the travelers away.

RMweb Gold Budgie Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 In that case, I wish you well in your future mathematical studies. Do not worry if things like this seem impossible now; in due course you will learn the ideas that make this sort of thing second nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Budgie Posted July 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) So Carol Vorderman would make an excellent pilot? Apparently so. See Wikipedia In 2014 Vorderman qualified for a private pilot's licence and announced that she planned to fly solo around the world. On 20 November 2014 Vorderman accepted the appointment of ambassador to the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, saying: "I am truly honoured to be appointed as an ambassador for the RAF Air Cadets. I can't wait to meet the cadets, and the adult volunteer staff who give so much of their time to support them. The cadets themselves are a shining example of the best of British youngsters, standing with them on a parade square will be a great privilege." Vorderman assumed the rank of Honorary Group Captain RAFVR(T) (Changed to Group Captain RAFAC from December 2017) for the duration of her appointment. She is the first female to be appointed Ambassador in the Royal Air Force Air Cadets' 75 year history after taking over from former ambassador Group Captain Sir Chris Hoy MBE RAFVR(T) Retd.
