ok

if you want to count then do it

take 30 coins and do it your self

in one side of the tale put three sets of 10 coins (one set for each person)

total 30 coins

take all coins to the secons side of the table ( you are paying the 30 to the hotle)

now from the 30 coins take 5 coins and place them in the center of the table (the bell boy)

you have 25 coins left in the side of the table (the hotel)

now from then 5 coins, take 3 coins and place each one where originaly each person has his own 10 coins

have you seen any coin disapiar?

this is a problem for kids in elementary school

from the original $30.oo 3 were returned. 2 for the biy bell, and 25 for the hotel

if you need a calculator

25 + 3 + 2 = 30

or the other way to look at it

each one paid 9.oo making a total of 27.oo
25.oo for the hotel
2.oo for the bell boy

ahem...wonder who could have pocketed it?

maybe a penny pincher

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 $29.00WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?
