Riddle -
3 men rent a room in a hotel. The cost is 30 dollars. Each man pays $10.
The manager realizes later they only had to pay $25.
He tells a maid to return $5 to the men.
On the way up, in the elevator, the maid thinks, "They can't split $5, so I'll just take $2 for myeself and give them $3."
So the maid gives the men $3.
Therefore, out of the $10 each man gave, he got one dollar back. Therefore, each man paid $9, right?
$27 = $2 stolen + $25 supposed to pay.... Add $1 per person, you get $30. + ...
So, 9x3 is $27, right? So they paid $27 in total.
But from the $30, the maid stole $2. 30 - 2 = $28.
What happened to the other dollar?
Solution: highlight the dotted row.
