Does math fail?!
Question: three men walk into a motel and decide to split a room. the clerk says it is $30 for the night so they all pay 10. later the clerk realizes he over charged them since the room is actually only $25 for the night. the clerk gives $5 back to the bell hop and tells him to take the men their change. on his way to the room the bell hop realizes he cannot evenly divide the $5 into three evenly so he pockets two dollars and gives a dollar back to each man. somehwere in this transaction a dollar disapperas since each man now has paid 9 dollars and 9x3 is 27 and the bell hop has 2 dollars, this adds up to 29. where is the extra dollar. 10 points to the person who gets it right

You don't multiply the 9 dollars by 3, you have to add...
25-clerk has it
3-given back to customers
2-bell hop has it
25+3+2=30, there's no missing dollar
math does fail! thats all i have to say
math doesnt fail. You're just bad at math.
