Just For Fun
Three guests check in at a hotel and pay $30 for their room. A while later
the desk clerk realizes that the room should have cost only $25, so she
gives the bellboy $5 to return to the three guests. The bell boy realizes
that the $5 can't be divided evenly among the three guests so he takes $2
and gives $1 to each of the guests. It seems that the three guests have
now each spent $9 for the room (that makes $27) and the bell boy has $2,
for a total of $29. Where is the missing dollar?
