Three men check into a hotel, the manager charges them $30 for one room with three beds which they share. The men go to their room and settle in, after a few moments the manager realizes his mistake, he over charged the three men, the room rate was only $25. He sends for the bellhop to return the $5 to the three men. On his way to the room the bellhop realizes that he can't split $5 between 3 men so he decides to give each man $1 and pocket the remaining $2 as a tip. The bellman returns the $1 to each man. In the three mens minds they each paid $9 for the room, or a total of $27, include the $2 tip the bellhop kept and that equals $29,
what happened to the other dollar?

Not only 5, but also 25 isn't divisible by 3. So when the 25 dollars are split equally, each man has paid 8 dollars and 1 dollar is remaining.
Tammy, thanks to you I discover new talents in me - normally maths are my weak point.  |

$9.00 X 3 men = $27
$27 - $2.00 discount = $25
$3.00 returned by bell hop
$2.00 in bellhops pocket
$30.00
