If you do figure it out or already know the answer just say you know it. Please do not post the answer until tomorrow so a few others can have a chance to figure it out.Thanks.
3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL.
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?
Freaky, Man!
;)
That's a good one. My dad hung me up on that one a looong time ago. since I know the answer, and you want it.........scroll down...
wait till tomorrow... :D
i have 11 fingers ;)
I googled the answer. after it gave me a headache.
got the answer. STILL didnt get it.
read it slowly . and now i get it :) haha
TRICKY :-\
1 1/2hr later and a migraine. I THINK I got it. That is so wrong. lol.
i cant figure it out
Don't have a clue :(
its tomorrow so lets here the answer
Need to figure the math in correct order ;)
Umm 25+3+2=30...When they calculated 27 that was adding the 2 that the bellboy kept?Or is their something else.POST THE ANSWER PLEASE IM GOING CRAZY >:(
well i googled it its tomorrow so i can say the answer right?
It's simple and just a play on order.
There is no missing dollar.
$25 stayed at the desk
$3 went back to the men
$2 went to the bellboy.
That's still $30 no matter how you slice it.
they added instead of subtracting the final 2 dollars. It was just a trick!
i still hate cats!
damn it i still dont get it
The men each paid US$9 for the room or US$27 total. The hotel got US$25 and the bellboy got US$2. 25 + 2 = 27. It's a trick question and the 30 is not the goal. Or you can say each man initially paid US$10 and had US$1 returned to them. 30 - 3 = 27 = 25 + 2.
I have two answers going through my head. The first would be the bellboy recieved a $1 tip. The other is more mathematical, so I'll wait for the true answer.

That was my second thought actually.
The statement "THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM" is a false statement. 25 divided by 3 is not 9 it is 8.34 This is where the confusion is.

Screw the pizza boy, send the paper boy. He never stops until he gets his two dollars.
He's just telling you $27, he says $3.00 was returned, that equals 28, not 27. You have to listen closely!!
Just like if a Plane flying to Canada crashes on the Border of Canada and America, which side do you bury the survivors?
