Three men go to a hotel. The man behind the desk said the room is $30. Each man paid $10 and went to the room.

A while later the man behind the desk realized the room was only $25. He sent the bellboy to the guests’ room to return $5.

On the way the bell boy could not figure out how to split $5 evenly between the three men. The bellboy decided to keep $2 for himself, giving $1 to each of the three men.

This meant that the three men each paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27. Adding the $27 that the men paid plus the $2 the bellboy kept adds to $29.

Where is the other dollar?
