I'm surprised this one hasn't shown yet:

Three men enter a hotel together and get 3 single rooms. The cost of each room is $10. They all pay and head to their respective rooms while the bellboy begins the task of bringing up their bags.

Just then the desk manager realizes he forgot to give them their $5 rebate special that they are advertising for three rooms. He gives the bellboy $5 and says "give this to those 3 gentlmen when you bring up their bags.

Bellboy is like "Crap, how do I spliy $5 three ways? Ah well, I'll just give them a dollar each and keep the left over $2." With that he goes up to each mans room, drops off his bags and gives them each $1.


Sooo...if they each get their rebate ($10 - $1 = $9) and the bellboy kept $2, that is only $29?

Where is the other $1?
