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????​

A man and a woman were driving in their car when it broke down. The man decided to go for help at a gas station a few miles back. He made sure nobody was in the car, rolled all the windows up, and locked all of the sedan's doors. He went off, but when he came back, his wife was dead, and there was a stranger in the car. No physical damage was done to the car, so how did the stranger get in?

And by the way, BKB, that's some funny math. Out of the $30, the hotel clerk has $25, the bellhop has $2, and the friends have $3. What missing dollar? Another way to look at is that the friends paid $27 - $25 to the clerk and $2 to the bellhop.

The room was $25, the refund was $3, the bellhop scammed $2 = $30.

Another way to look at it, the friends paid $9/ea x 3 = $27 - the bellhops share of $2 = $25, the cost of the room.

edit: too slow :p
