I have a riddle for you....?!


Question:

I have a riddle for you....?

3 guys were fishing, their car broke down, and they decided to stay at a hotel for the night. When the bell boy rang them he said that it would be $30.00 for the night. Each of them handed him a $10.00 dollar bill and went to the room. The bell boy then remembered during fishing season the rooms are $25.00, so he took the $5.00 and headed upstairs, realizing there is no way to divide 5 equally amoung 3 people, he decides to pocket $2.00. Which means each man got back $1.00, so they each paid $9.00, 9*3= $27 + the $2.00 the bell boy took, which = $29.00. Where is the extra $1.00???


Answers:

The thing is, they didn't pay $30 for the room, they ended up paying $27, including what the bell boy pocketed. The money is all still there. After the money was returned to them, each man DID pay $9, but at that point we're supposed to be adding up toward $25 plus $2 pocketed instead of $30, make sense?
