What happen to the other dollar?!
Question:
What happen to the other dollar?
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?

there is no extra dollar-
$30 - $5= 25
-$3
-$2
3+2=5
just simple math and tricky language
Answers:
The entire phrasing of this question is meant to confuse people without knowing they're being confused, and it works. See:
$30 total:
$25 - in the hotel cashbox
$3 - returned to the men
$2 - in the bellboy's pocket
25+3+2=30!!!
*to the person above this comment, remember the men actually paid $9 each: only $25 went to the hotel, and the other $2 went to the bellboy*
