How much length would you need to add to the rope to raise it 6 inches off
the earth at all points?

The corrct answer is: The hotel has $25, the bellhop has $2, and each guest
has $1 for a total of $30. There is no missing dollar.

p.s. What I always loved about math (and yes, I'm a geek), is that nobody
needs to tell you if your answer is the right answer. When you understand
it, you already *know* if you have the right answer. But for the record,
the correct answer to the question I thought I posed is Pi (3.1415...) feet.
