Re: Missing buck
Actually the puzzle was thrown off to fit TTP.
Puzzle
Three travelers split a supposedly $30 hotel room. The owner later realizes that he overcharged by $5, which he gives to the bellboy to return to the guests. Not knowing how to split $5 three ways, the bellboy pockets $2 and returns $3 instead. Thus each guest paid $9 for rooms and the bellboy got $2, for a total of $29. Where did the other dollar go?
Answer
Each of the guests ultimately paid $9 to buy a $25 room, with the bellboy getting the extra $2. The seeming difficulty of the question arises from the final "and", a word which can mean either "plus" or "it was also the case". If we read the last sentence as "they paid $27 plus the bellboy got $2" we end up focusing on a meaningless $29 total. Instead, we should read "they paid $27 and it was also the case that the bellboy got $2", which leads us to the $25 actually spent on the room.
That's directly from the internet.

You need to find a server that's hosting whatever map or mod you want to play, and join it. Without the SDK being out yet, basically there are next to no maps or mods out there worth playing, so patience is the answer.
