Or maybe not... :)



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? :wink:

3 men pay the hotelier $27

The hotelier pays the bell boy $2

That's $29

There is no $30 anymore after the hotelier gives the bellboy $5, the total is then $25 + $2.

Its was tricky :lol: :lol:

Spoilsport!! :lol: :lol:

Yes, you're right.

Cost of the room ($25) + Money taken by bellboy ($2) + Change for the men ($3) = 30$

I'm going to ignore the fact that it would have been difficult getting that into the balloon in the first place, given its narrow neck. :lol: Thats a disgusting thought.
