Is there a question in this life you fear to be answered for it would not satisfy you if it were not the one you wanted or would it simply take away your desire to live.

the missing dollar is not missing the problem doesnt lie you do.see to pay the actual fee which was 25+bellboy tip =27 remainder three buckseach guy did pay 9.oo plus bellboy tip but instead of adding the remainder three bucks to 27 you added 2 the bellboy fee which had already been calculated into the problem so in the end the equation didnt lie you did.

maxnwe you are crazy.....look if they already paid 30 bucks in the beggining right.right then the bellboy comes back with five, right?so now were only dealing with five bucks, right?each guy keeps a dollar,3 dollars so the bellboy was given 2, plus 3 =5 so if you add up how much each of them paid right then in there in order of events.27 dollars, 25 the room +2 dollars the bellboy .divide 27 by 3 you get 9.00.now why after multiplying 3 times 9 did you add 2 instead of three to **** with peoples minds it worked for a little bit but not for long because the only reason it seemed that way was because in peoples minds they were trying to make it right they thought well they each get one dollar , so in other words 10 a piece minus 1 = 9 and theres three of them so thats 27 + 2 the bellboy =29.oh **** what the , thats not right.but thats their mistake you cant subtract the 1 from 10 to get the 9 you gotta add what they actually paid 2 bellboy + 25 current fee=27 to get 30 add 3bucks return.

Hi Danny,
I suppose the one great question that everyone secretly fears is...
"Is there an ultimate meaning to human suffering?"
Think about it. How much faith, religion, psychology, etc, is based on a presumed answer to this question. If there is no purpose to it -- imagine what that would mean. It would mean that ultimately, all questions of right and wrong, justice and injustice are without merit. That would be earth-shattering.

The missing dollar: There is an error in the calculation.
You do not multiply $9x3= $27
You multiply $8.334 X 3 = $25.002. Which is what each person actually paid for the room. $25/3 = 8.334
Counting the $2 tip to the bell boy that is $27.002 or $27.00
The question of life I would leave unanswered is:
Are we, as humankind, really destined for nothing?
I find it hard to believe with all the technological advances we have created that in the end we are nothing but worm dirt when we die. I am not saying that religion is the only way but we are too intelligent for there to be nothing left after we are gone. What are we learning here that we should take on to the next life?

Where is the missing dollar from the three guys who went to the hotel...
Three guys went to a hotel ....the room was 30.00
they each gave 10.00.
Later the bellboy came back and said the room was only 25.00..and he gave them 5.00
The guys each kept 1.00 and gave the bellboy a 2.00 tip = 5.00
This makes each guy NOW has paid 9.00 each
3x9.00=27.00 + 2.00 tip to the bellboy
27.00 + 2.00 = 29.00
Where is the other dollar
Yes but ....We didn't deal with the bellboy prior to only paying 9.00 each.....
You can twist the situation around all you want BUT....
If the situation occured JUST AS IT HAPPENED..
Somebody is getting shorted a dollar.

Oh, the fear of identity theft!0!
Hey bud, there was never us, you, or me. There's always been only one. I am you and we're all one. When I realized this, I looked in the mirror and I said I am not you!0!
That weird feeling comes by from time to time, but eventually it will disappear. Remember, there's nothing else besides IT.
There's only God and you, and this is your dream!0!

yes there are several such questions.
example.:-
who came first, the chicken or the egg.. ?
are there aliens.?
can time reversed.?
is there GOD.?
what exists in a black hole.?
what is present at the center of the earth.?
is there life beyond death.?
i feel all debates where nobody wins are questions which can never be answered.
personal feelings, beliefs are not counted here.

No I think it's "who am I". The moment you define it you've sold your creative possibilities. Ok, you could say I'm the creator, I make all possible, but then you couldn't be someone who never experienced this. Who you are must be a mystery, undefinable, you can't know just as a knife can't cut itself, or an eye see itself...
