It was a Dark... and Rainy Night...
The Hotel Manager yawned as he turned off the TV
-when he heard voices. Three Gentlemen had just arrived -searching for lodging on this uneventful, but stormy night...
"Good Evening Gentlemen" Smiled the Manager...
"We Each need a room for the night..." -they responded.
Each Man, gave the Hotel manager, -$10, took his room key, and retired for the night.
About an hour later
The Hotel Manager felt guilty for charging those men so much for their Rooms. "This place is a dive a hundred miles from nowhere, and those crappy rooms are just not worth $10..." -he thought.
So he Rang for the Bell-Hop reached into the cash drawer and gave the bell-Hop -$5 telling him to go and give each of their guests -some of their money back.
On the Elevator the Bell-Hop grumbled -"How -am I going to give -$5 to 3 Men ?
"HEY Those men don't know 'how much money I am supposed to give them I got no change, and division isn't my strong suit -anyway..."
So he put $2 into his pocket and gave each man -Back $1.
Okay so, as far as what I know is true, the Three Gentlemen, originally paid $10 Each, for their Rooms.
( 3 Gentlemen $10 -Each: 3 x $10 = $30 ) so we are talking, about a total of $30.
Now I know that
each man, has paid $9 for his room, after the late-night CASH REBATE
of each Man, getting back $1...
And I AM SURE that 3 x $9 = $ 27.
Okay now, I know that the Bell-Hop, has $ 2 -in his pocket...
$27 + $ 2 = $29
...Now
Who got the OTHER Dollar ? ?
