3 Men go into a motel. The man behind the desk said the room is $30.00, so each man paid $10.00 and went to the room. A while later the man behind the desk realized the room was only $25.00, so he sent the bellboy to the 3 guys' room with $5. On the way the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split the $5 evenly between 3 men, so he gave each man a $1.00 and kept the other $2 for himself. This meant that the 3 men each paid $9.00 for the room, which is a total of $27, add the $2 that the bellboy kept = $29.00. Where is the other dollar???     | ||

The confusion comes from running the transactions in two directions simultaneously. The men paid $30 for the room. Five bucks was returned via bellhop. The men paid $25 for the room. ($8.33 each) Period. End of story. They each got back one dollar and the bellhop kept two. Still $30. You subtract instead of add. 3 men X 9 dollars = $27 $27 - $2 for the bellboy = $25 The room was $25. The dollar was never missing. | ||
