[StBernard] This will Mess with your Head

[Westley Annis]

There is no missing dollar.  The premise of the question misleads you to add
the $2 to the $27 when you should be subtracting it from $27 to equal the
room price of $25.  Thus you have an accounting balance of $30 paid minus
$3, minus $2 equals $25.  Anyone who took accounting or knows good
bookkeeping could figure this one out by doing proper ledger entries.

 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?
