An oldie but goodie.
Three guys on a road trip decide to stop for the night. At the motel the desk clerk says he has one room left and it’s $30.00. The guys put in $10.00 each and off they go to the room.
A while later the desk clerk realizes the room was only $25.00 and he had overcharged the men by $5.00. He gives the housekeeper five $1.00 bills and sends him to the room to repay the men.
On the way, he realizes that $5.00 cannot be divided evenly by three people, so he keeps $2.00 and gives them $1.00 each. That means the each guy paid $9.00 for the room.
Now, $9.00 x 3 = $27.00, plus the $2.00 the housekeeper kept equals $29.00. Where’s the other buck?
