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?

The men haven’t paid £27, though, have they?

They have paid £25 between them, add to that the 3 x £1 they get back = £28 plus the £2 the bellboy keeps = £30

Next question?

Nah - they paid £16.05 for the room in total, with £1.61 cash back off the bell boy.

What are three men doing in a cheap hotel room anyway? thats the real question

Enough of your sly innuendo, say what you mean. :p

And the men _have_ paid 27. 25 goes to the hotel, and 2 goes to the bellboy. You can’t then add the 2 pound from the bellboy again, supposedly making twentynine, which is where the cunning trick/idiocy of the puzzle comes from.
