OK lets play a riddle and NO Cheating, when u have given up cant solve the riddle, let me know
But remember the answer Lies within the riddle itself #

$ THE MISSING DOLLAR RIDDLE $
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????



AND REMEMBER NO CHEATING. Best of Luck Everyone
I'll tell u the answer later on today
 
...its in the .33 cents for each of the 3 guys that gets left out...each actually paid 8.33 each...that 25.00 total....plus the 3 refund plus the 2 that was pocketed

Good Answer, one of the best i have Heard BUT U ARE WRONG.
Next try lol
 
ok - they paid 30.......get 5 back.......guy pockets 2


30 minus the 2 is 28.
 
They were actually only charged $25 total for the night. The bellhop takes $2, meaning they paid $27. $9 each. The riddle is that last part about $27 plus 2, it's actually $27 minus the $2 the bellhop added on.
