Three men walk into a hotel to rent a room. The room costs $30.
They pay the manager $10 each.
An hour later, the manager realizes the room is just $25, and he sends the bellboy up to return the $5 he owes them.
The dishonest bellboy gives the men back $1 each, pocketing $2 for himself.
The men have now paid $9 each for the room.
3 x $9 = $27
+ $2 for the bellboy
--------------------
= $29
Where did the other dollar go?
