3 men go into a motel.
The man behind the desk said the room is R30, so each man paid R10 and went to the room.
A while later the man behind the desk realized the room was only R25, so he sent the bellboy to the 3 guy's room with R5.
On the way the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split R5 evenly between 3 men, so he gave each man a R1 and kept the other R2 for himself.
This meant that the 3 men each paid R9 for the room, which is a total of R27, add the R2 that the bellboy kept = R29.
Where is the other Rand ?
Careful;
This proves that we cannot trust mathematics in all that we are doing.
