This will Mess With Your Head.
3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO
EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.
A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO
HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5.
ON THE WAY, THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY
BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR
HIMSELF.
THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF
$27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.
WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?
each had to have paid $9 and some change. It took me a while to figure that out. good one made me think.
There is no missing dollar. You don't add the $2 to the 27. You subtract it from 27, giving the $25 that the room cost.
ok if the price was 25 then two men paid $8.25 and the third paid $8.50 which give you 25 even. so in return two men would have gotten $1.50 back and the third should have gotten $2 back. If im wrong then let me know but I think im correct

+1
$30 - $1 - $1 - $1 - $2 = $25
You don't ADD it to the $27
