The Hardest one:
Three guys go at a hotel, but there is only one room affordable enough for the three of them, it costs 30$. The owner thinks about it and decides it is not worth that money since it is in really bad shape, he gives 5 dollars to the valet and tells him to give it to the three guys...
So the Valet doesnt know how to divide 5 in 3, So he gives them one dollar each and keeps 2.
So...
they payed a total of 9 dollars each...right?
9 x 3 = 27...agree?
plus 2 that the valet kept = 29.....agree....
Where is the other dollar?
2. If you say my name, not longer will I exist
3.A village thief was really starting to get on the village peoples nerves...so everybody went to the king and asked for his immediate capturation...So the king sends all his troops to capture him, and finally, he says to him. Tonight, you will be in jail, tommorow, I shall put two marbles in a bag. If you pick a red one, you shall die on a stick, burned alive, but as I am a generous king

1. Your doing the math in a different way. 30- 5=25 The bell boy gave back the 3 men a dollar:25 + 3= 28 and the bell boy has 2 dollars 28 +2 =30
2. silence =)
3. The King looked in the bag and saw there was a red jewel in the bag and assumed the thief had grabbed the white one.

1. the 2 dollars the valet keeped is included in the 27 dollars not added. They paid actually 25 dollars for room, 2 dollars was keeped by the valet and 3 dollars was given back. 25+2+3= 30
2. the name is "not longer will I exist.
3. 1st of all The king said he would put the marbles in the bag, not the guards. So either A. the King put the red and white marble in the bag and the theif picked the white one. B. The king saw that the guards put 2 red marbles in his bag and since he was generous and was pissed about what the guards done he let the theif go. C. Assuming there was 2 red marbles the king looked in the bag and saw a red marble and assumed the theif picked the white one.

1.) The man is given $30. Each man did not pay $9 each. The valet is given $5. 30 - 5= 25. The valet gives each guest a dollar. 25 + 3 = 28, and he keeps two. 28 + 2 = 30. So...
9 x 3 = 27, but that's not the equation we're given. We're given (30 - 5) + (3 + 2), which equals 30.
2.) "Attention," because the moment you call for it, everybody stops paying you it.
3.) The king looked in the bag and saw the guard had put two red marbles in so, to spite the guard and pay him back for what he'd done, he let the thief go free.

No he did not he payed a total of $5 because the 3 guys got $1 each and the valet got $2. So 3*1+2 = 5.
It is one or another.

1. They didn't pay exactly $9.00, they paid $9.33 each, and the extra cent is lost in math, but is there, more like $9.33 and 1/3 cent. Because if they were given 5 back, then $25 is still paid. The three dollars given back would take it to $28 and the two kept makes it thirty.
2. Silence
3. The thief swallowed one. The only one left in the bag was red, so he was let go on the assumption that he swallowed the white one.

QUESTION 1
Actually they only paid 25 collectively ($8.34 each), and they were refunded $5 from which they each received $1 (=$3, collectively) and the Valet took $2........25+3+2=30
So there is no $1 missing........
QUESTION 2
the answer is SILENCE, cuz duh!
QUESTION 3
the theif knowing, that there were 2 red marbles in the bag, chose one and didnt show it, the king looked in the bag and saw a red marble, assuming that the prisoner had chosen the white one., thus he was free to go.

1. it's wrong, it should be 27 - 2, not 27 + 2.
2. Silence
3. the thief probably used a white marble that he stole to replace the red marble.
