Question: It's a mathematical phonemenon! Where did the 'extra dollar' go in this riddle!?
Okay, somebody told me this "riddle" today and I just can't figure it out!. I think it might be unsolvable, but I want to see if any of you might know a solution for it or why it comes out like this!. Here goes, I'll try to tell you the best I can remember!.!.!.

----------

It's a late Saturday night and three men are passing through a town and decide to get a hotel room for the night!. They find one and the total cost of staying in a room for the night is $30, so each of them splits the cost and pays $10 each!.

They each head up to their room, along with the bellhop who carries their luggage!. They unload their luggage and get ready for bed!.

When the bellhop goes back down, the manager says "It's the weekend and I forgot to give them a weekend discount - the room should have only been $25 instead of $30 for the night!." So the manager hands the bellhop five $1 bills and tells him to take it up to their room and give it back to them since he over-charged the men for the room!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
THERE IS NO EXTRA DOLLAR!.

THEY DIDNT EACH PAY $9

DUH!.

WRITE IT DOWN AND YOU WILL GET ITWww@Enter-QA@Com

it is not good logic to add the amount they each spent plus what the bellhop keeps and expect it to add up to $30

it is correct to add the price of the room ($25) plus the $3 refund plus the $2 the bellhop keeps to add up to $30

no missing dollarWww@Enter-QA@Com

First off!.!.!.!.!.you told it completely wrong!.

Second, you're adding and subtracting in the wrong collumns - that's the riddle!.!.!.!.!.it's a perspective thing!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

That totally mashed my brain >_<Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think you worded it wrong because 25+3=28 not 27 so there is no missing $Www@Enter-QA@Com

It is all their!. They didn't pay the same amount!.

1!. they paid 10 dollar each which equal 30

2!. Forgot about discount gets 5 dollars which means it is now 25!.

3!. Bellhop keeps 2 whichs makes it 23!.

4!. Each gets an extra dollar back which makes it 20!.

5!. Divide 20 by 3 one pays 6 two pay 7!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
