3 guys walk in a hotel to get a room. clerk says "that's $150." so each guy divies up $50. for their share of the room. later the hotel manager checks out the registry and sees that the clerk over-charged the 3 guys by $50. and tells the clerk to refund the guys the $50. so the clerk takes 5 ten's out of the register and goes to their room. on the way up the elevator he thinks; "how the hell am i gonna split $50. evenly between the 3 guys?" he decides that he'll give each guy back $10. and pocket $20. which adds up to the $50. he took from the till.
now the question to the riddle is this: if each guy got back $10. from the original $50. they each paid, that means the 3 guys paid a total of $120. for the room. $40.x3=$120. right? so if that's true, and the clerk pocketed $20. what happened to the other $10.?
