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 $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?

A friend sent me this puzzle last night. I can't believe it stumped me for more than a minute! Arrrgh.

Ron you are killing me, why can I not figure this out. When will I get the answer to this puzzle. It is either too late, or I am not as sharp as I used to be... if your point was to torture someone... you have done a mighty fine job!
The key is in the "add" on the last line. Thanks about it!
