3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5.

ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.

THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?


Took me about 5 minutes before it clicked...
Doooh !!!!!!!!!

In little johhny's GST pocket?

I can do the maths on this but I'm too pissed again.

Something about 27+3 not 27 + 2

doi!

Thats easy, you dont add the $2 to the $27. you take it off to get $25. so there is no other dollar

Yeah...;)

You forget the 3 x 9 = 27, thats just to fool you!
Just think the Man behind desk has 25,
3 Guys have a dollar each,
Bellboy has $2.

25 + 3 + 2 = 30 and not 29 :D
