| Three men went to a hotel and were told that there was only one room left and it would cost $30 for the night. They each paid $10 and went to the room. Later, the desk clerk realised he had made an error by overcharging the men $5. He asked the bell-hop to return the $5 to the men. This bell-hop was not as honest as the desk clerk and figured that since $5 was not easy to divide among 3 men, he would just return $3 to the men - $1 to each man. Therefore, each man paid $9, which totals $27 for the room. Add that to the $2 the bell-hop kept and the total is only $29. Where is the missing $1? Who has it? |

The cost of the room was $27 minus $2, or $25. The missing $1 comes from adding $27 and $2 and getting the misleading figure of $29. |
