Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance.  So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room.  A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5.  He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in.  The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends.  He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day!  Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night.  We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent.  Where did the other dollar go????

Tony - Thats a good one!  There is no extra dollar.

The facts are:
The room was originally 30.  The clerk realized he overcharged.
He refunded 5 taking the room to $25.00, leaving a difference of $5.
The dishonest bell hop refunded $3 and kept $2 for a total of $5.00.

The trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times in order to be confusing.[;)]
