Brain Teaser
Me, Springer, and Rabbit are travelling, and have to stop at a motel. We get a suite that is only 30 bucks, and we each pony up a 10 spot to cover our share.
when we get upstairs, the bell hop tells us there was a mistake, and the room will only be 25 bucks. he returns 1 dollar to each of us, and keeps 2 for a "tip" ((1+1+1)+2)=5 bucks).
So...we each spent 9 bucks (as we each recieved 1 dollar back on our original 10 dollars spent):
9X3=27
And the bell hop kept 2 bucks:
27+2=29
But we originally gave up 30.
where did the other dollar go?
