13 people came into a hotel with 12 rooms and each guest wanted his own room. The bellboy solved this problem.
He asked the thirteenth guest to wait a little with the
first guest in room number 1. So in the first room there were two
people. The bellboy took the third guest to room number 2, the fourth to
number 3, ..., and the twelfth guest to room number 11. Then he
returned to room number 1 and took the thirteenth guest to room number
12, still vacant.
How can everybody have his own room?
