    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?:D

    Hotel keeps $25 Men keep $1 each or $3 = $28 + $2 = $30

    It is not consistent to use division (or multiplication really ) to check a basic addition/subtraction problem. Right? :)

    Rules of math you + before you - and x before you divide. I love that brain teaser.
