Three men decided to split the cost of a hotel room. The hotel manager gave them a price of $30.
The men split the bill evenly, each paying $10, and went to their room. However, the hotel manager realized that it was a Wednesday night, which meant the hotel had a special: rooms were only $25. He had overcharged them $5!
He called the bellboy, gave him five one-dollar bills and told him to return it to the men.
When the bellboy explained the situation to the men, they were so pleased at the honesty of the establishment that they promptly tipped the bellboy $2 of the $5 he had returned and each kept $1 for himself.
So each of the three men ended up paying $9 totalling $27, plus $2 for the bellboy makes $29.
Where did the extra dollar go?

the 27$ include the 2$ paid to the bellboy and the remaining 3$ were kept by the three men. There is no extra dollar as the rent was 25$.

its a trick quetion my friend ..there is no missing dollar.. the total was 25 dollars .. then he returned 1 dollar to each of them .. ( 3 dollars total ) 25+3 =28 dollars .. and the bellboy had 2 dollars so that 30 dollars .. so the answer there is no missing dollar.

Damn. This is going to irritate me.
Ok...
30/3 = 10
-1, that they keep
so 9
2 goes to the bell boy
WTF???
10
It couldn't have gone anywhere!
Like, each lost ten dollars.
Then got a dollar back
So the hotel had 25
plus two for the bellboy.
27
and each payed nine dollars.
ARRGH! I don't know!
