3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO >EACH
MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE
SENT

THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5.

ON THE WAY, THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN >3
MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.

THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF
$27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

The guys ended up paying $9 each for the room. That adds up to $27. It should have been $25. The bellboy got the difference of $2. $27 that they paid minus the $2 the bellboy kept is the $25 total for the room.

I really had to think about that though. But I was first :-)

The men paid $9 each for the room, equaling $27. The busboy kept $2 for himself, which must be SUBTRACTED from $27 to get the actual amount the room was worth: $25.

I guess at the desk.

Wait, with the math problem 10+10+10-5+3=28, not 29, so this is just a really messed up math problem.

10-1=9

9*3=27

27-2=25
