Think about this one real hard:
There are these three people traveling cross country, as they are passing through one state, they begin to get tired, so they look for a hotel. When they find one, the manager tells them there is one room left, but it's a single room. The three of them decide to take the room anyway, so the manager charges them $30 for the room, they each pay $10. They get to the room and get settled in, and the manager thinks to himself "three people in one single room, I feel kind of bad, I guess I can give them a small refund." He calls the bellman over and says to him, "I'm giving those people that just checked in a $5 refund, so here, please take it up to them." On the way up to the room, the bell man is thinking, five dollars can't be split three ways, so he keeps $2 for himself and gives the remaining $3 to the three guests, which would mean they each basically paid $9 each for the room. So, $9 each times 3 people equals $27, plus the $2 the bellman has makes it $29. Where did the remaining dollar go?:confused:
