   3 men go into a hotel.
  The man behind the desk said the room is $30 so each man paid $10 and went to the room.
  A while later the man behind the desk realized the room was only $25 so he sent the bellboy to the 3 guys' room with $5.
  On the way the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split $5 evenly between 3 men, so he gave each man a $1 and kept the other $2 for himself.
   This meant that the 3 men each paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27 add the $2 that the bellboy kept = $29. Where is the other dollar?

One of the men paid $10 because $25 is not divisble by $3. Either that or each man paid $8.33 plus the $1 they recieved which makes it $9.33 each (approximately).

Upon rethinking... they paid $25 for the rooms, got $3 back each and the bell boy kept $2 so that is the $30. But for equal pay the bellboy kept the $2 making their total $27 so each paid $9 each and then they recieved $3 back. So in conclusion the logic in the second to last section is wrong.

Yes, you have it..............
There is no missing dollar. The men spent $27. Of which $25 went on the room and $2 went to the light fingered bell boy. You can not add the $2 the bellboy has to the $27 the men spent as this $2 actually comes out of the $27 the men spent, the other $25 going on the room.
