Missing Dollar

December 9, 2007 23:03 by Jon

WHERE IS THE MISSING DOLLAR?

     Three men are traveling.  They come across a hotel.   Exhausted, they decide to get a room for the night.   They decide to save money and share one room.   The rooms are $30.00 even.  They each pay $10.00 and head off to the room.  

      A few minutes later the manager to the hotel comes down and asks if they have gotten anyone for the night yet?  The lady at the front desk says "yes, three gentlemen just purchased one room."  The manager asks, "did you charge them the special rate of $25.00, or the full price of $30.00?"  The front desk lady explained that she has accidently charged them the full price.   The manager thinking for a minute says "bring them back five, one dollar bills so they can split it up how they wish."   She agrees, and heads off to the room.   While walking to the room she is trying to decide how they will split five dollars evenly between three people.    She decides to keep a $2.00 tip for herself and then give them each back one dollar.  

      She knocks on the door and the gentlemen answer.   She explains that at the hotel they are having a special for rooms and she forgot about it.  However, here is back $1.00 each.   The men are happy to get back their dollar and say goodnight. 

       So if they each got back a dollar, its like they only had to pay $9.00 each.   And as we know 9 x 3 = 27, plus the 2 dollar tip for the lady only equals 29!!   Where did the other dollar go?
