Three men stay at a hotel for the night. The innkeeper charges thirty Pounds per room per night. The men rent one room; each pays ten Pounds. The Porter leads the men to their room. Later, the innkeeper discovers he has overcharged the men and asks the Porter to return five pounds to them. On the way upstairs, the porter realizes that five pounds can't be evenly split among three men, so he decides to keep two pounds for himself and return one pound to each man.
At this point, the men have paid nine pounds each, totalling 27. The Porter has two, which adds up to 29. Where did the thirtieth pound go?
