Ok, I've got a question I haven't figured out just yet. Three men walk into a hotel, and pay $30 (total) to share a room for the night. After paying, the manager comes out and says their total should have been $25. Their refund is $5, but since the $5 is not evenly dividable three ways, each man receives $1, leaving the manager with the other $2. Since originally each man was paying $10 ($10x3=$30) for the room, and now each is paying $9 ($10- $1 refund), that leaves the total charge being $9x3=$27. If the manager kept $2, the total comes to $29 ($27+$2), where is the 30th dollar?
