Hotel
Published: Nov 30, 1999
Riddle: There were 3 men who went to a hotel.
The receptionist said that a room costs $30.
Each man paid $10.
When they went to the room, the receptionist remembered that a room costs $25.
The receptionist sent $5 to a boy.
The boy didn't know how to divide 5 by 3.
He gave each man $1 and kept $2 for himself.
So each man paid $9 (10-1)(the boy gave $1 to each man)
9*3=27
27+2(the one that the boy kept for himself)=29
Where is the last dollar?

9*3=27
27+2(the one that the boy kept for himself)=29
Where is the last dollar?
Answer: It's 27 - 2 because the boy kept it for himself. So we have $25.
The $25 + 3 (that the men have) + 2 = $30.
The $25 + 3 (that the men have) + 2 = $30.
