I happened to come across this puzzle. And I couldn't solve it, so I thought of letting you guys try out this puzzle. =D


Puzzle:

One day, 3 men went to stay in a hotel. The hotel room was $30, so they paid $10 each.

Later, the hotel manager found that there was a special offer and it was actually $25.
He gave the bellboy $5 and told him to return the money.
But the bellboy kept $2 for himself and gave $1 each to the 3 men.

The bellboy thought: Each person paid $9, total $27. Plus the $2 he kept became $29. As the 3 men first paid $30, where was the missing $1?


That's all folks
