3 business men are in town to attend a convention and decide to share a room. They pay $30 for the room for the night. Later the manager realizes they are here for the convention, which gives them a $5 discount, so he gives the $5 to the bellboy to bring to the businessmen. The bellboy, figuring the gentlemen couldn't split $5 evenly, pockets $2 and gives $3 to the gentlemen. Thus each man has paid $9 and the bell boy pocketed $2 (9x3=27+2=29). Where did the extra dollar go?
