Okay three men are lost in the woods and they find a hotel in a clearing and go in. They speak to the man at the desk and ask for a room. The manager says:
"Sorry, we only have one room left, so you'll have to share, and It's £30 for the room"
The men hand over 10 pounds each and go up to their room.
About an hour later the manager realises he made a mistake, it's only £25 for the room, so he gives the bell boy £5 and asks him to go distribute it between the three men. The bell boy walks to the room and realises that £5 doesnt split between 3 people. So he keeps £2 for himself, and gives the men £1 each back.
Now heres the puzzle.
The men got a pound back each, so they paid £9 per person. 3 x 9 is 27, and the bell boy kept £2 for himself.
£27 + £2 is £29.
From the original £30 spent £1 is missing.
Where has the missing £1 gone?
