Just got this email,

3 Men go to a motel.

The man behind the desk says the room is $30.00

So each man pays $10.00 & they go to their room.

A while later the man behind the desk realised the room was only $25.00.

So he sent the bellboy to the 3 guys' room with $5.00

On the way, the bellboy couldn't figure out how to split $5.00 evenly between the 3 men, so he gave each man $1.00 & kept the other $2.00 for himself.

This meant that the 3 men each paid $9.00 for the room, which comes to a total of $27.00, add the $ 2.00 the bellboy kept & that comes to $29.00


WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

No clue....but check Ken's pockets

the waiter took the $5 so they had in effect only paid $25. he kept $2, which made it 27, and they each got 1 back(3) which makes it 30- it's just that you are calculating it backwards instead of forwards

They haven't paid $9 each, they've paid $8.33 each that's where the $1 is.

25/3=8.33

I owe you one!!!!

good on ya..... I was working it out and when i got the answer i scroll down and you have posted it.....so i wont bother....


And Ken give it back and stop being greedy......

ok...dang, I was saving up for a new pocket protector...

Now if you had said you were going to buy a bar of chocolate with it ......i would have said.............Give us a bit.......

The stripper has it...

it's in his other pocket!

if you work it this way they paid $28 dollars for the room and the bell boy got $2 = $ 30 not 29

as follows ... $25 for the room
Bell boy gave them $3 ( 1 each) = 28
Bell boy kept $ 2 - $ 30
