All right all you Mathematicians...FIGURE THIS ONE
OUT!
>
>Three guys in a hotel call room service, place an
order for two large
>pizzas. The delivery boy

guy gives him a
>$10.00 bill, and he leaves.
>That's fact! When he hands the $30.00 to the cashier,
he is told a
>mistake was made. The bill was
>only $25.00, not $30.00. The cashier gives the
delivery boy five $1.00
>bills and tells him to take
>it back to the 3 guys who ordered the pizza. That's
fact! On the way to
>their room, the delivery
>boy has a thought...these guys did not give him a
tip. He figures that
>since there is no way to
>split $5.00 evenly three ways anyhow, he wil keep two
dollars for a
>tip, and just give them back
>three dollars. So far so good! He knocks on the door
and one fellow
>answers. He explains there was
>a mix up in the bill, and hands the guy the three
dollars, then departs
>with his two-dollar tip in
>his pocket. Now the fun begins! Remember! $30-$25=$5.
Right? $5-$3=$2.
>Right? All is well, right?
>
>Not quite. Answer this: Each of the three guys
originally gave $10.00
>each. They each got back
>$1.00 in change. That means they paid $9.00 each,
which multiplied by
>three is $27.00. The
>delivery boy kept $2.00 for a tip. $27.00 plus $2.00
equals $29.00.

>Where is the other dollar????????????????????????????
