competition: Most confusing RIDDLE
entry: where did it go? by candyclaire
Three men checked into a hotel room for which they paid $30. The next day, the manager realized that the men had been overcharged. She gave the bellhop $5 to return to the three men. On the way to their room the bellhop decided to keep $2 for himself, and give each of the three men one dollar. The three men had now paid $9 each, or a total of $27. This plus the $2 the bellhop kept makes a total of $29. What happened to the other dollar?

A dollar was never missing. It just messed with your head because the way it has been calculated. Try it again, maybe you'll see :)
