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 guy's 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? 2. There is no other dollar. 3.
