Quote:
Three men rent a hotel room. Each pays $10 for a total of $30 spent on the room. The next day the hotel owner tells the three men that they over paid for the room as it only costs $25. The three men tell the owner to give them each a dollar back and he can keep two dollars.
If you do the math, each man paid $9 a piece for the room for a total of $27. The owner kept $2 which brings the total to $29.
The question is where did the other dollar go?
