■Three men decided to split the cost of a
hotel room. The hotel manager gave them a price of $30.
■The men split the bill evenly, each paying
$10, and went to their room. However, the hotel manager realized
that it was a Wednesday night, which meant the hotel had a
special: rooms were only $25. He had overcharged them $5.
■He called the bellboy, gave him five
one-dollar bills and told him to return it to the men.
■When the bellboy explained the situation
to the men, they were so pleased at the honesty of the
establishment that they promptly tipped the bellboy $2 of the $5
he had returned and each kept $1 for himself.
■So each of the three men ended up paying
$9 (their original $10, minus $1 back) totaling $27, plus $2 for
the bellboy which makes $29.
■So where is the missing dollar?
