Thread: 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.

and thats what i said in my post.

I think that's what everyone said in there posts. It's pretty much just a trick question, thats all.
