***If you work it out please dont post the answer in the thread as a spoiler to those who haven't...
3 men go into a hotel.
The man behind the desk said the room is £30 so each man paid £10 and went to the room.
A while later the man behind the desk realized the room was only £25 so he sent the bellboy to the 3 guys’ room with £5 change.
On the way the bellboy could not figure out how the spilt £5 evenly between the 3 men, so he gave each man £1 and kept £2 for himself as a tip.
This meant that each man had paid £9 for the room, which is a total of £27.
Now add the £2 the bellboy kept for his tip and the total is now £29.
Where did the other pound go?
