Three men entered a hotel and asked for a room, but

the clerk said there was only one room available but that he

would put dividers in the room. The room would cost $30.

Each man paid $10. After the clerk thought the situation over,

he decided that he had overcharged the men and called the

bellboy and instructed him, "Take this five dollars back to the

three men. Tell them I overcharged them and that they should

divide this five dollars among themselves." The bellboy

thought that dividing $5 among three men would be fairly

difficult and, being dishonest, kept $2 for himself. Then he

returned $1 to each man so, actually, the cost to each man was

$9. Now, 3 times 9 is 27 and the $2 the bellboy kept makes

$29. What happened to the other dollar?
