SEE IF YOU CAN SOLVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM BEFORE YOU READ THE ANSWER
Three men pay $30 as a group to rent a room. The clerk discovers he has overcharged the group $5 and so gives the bellhop the money to return to the three men. The bellhop decides that five is too hard to divide by three and so gives the men a dollar each and keeps the $2 for himself. The three men have paid $9 each, the bellhop has kept $2 making $29. Where did the extra dollar go?
