three guys are staying at a hotel which costs 30 dollars. they each pay ten dollars and go up to the room. after they leave, the guy at the counter realized he overcharged, the room is only 25$. the guy sends a worker up with five one-dollar bills to give to the men. since 5$ cant be split evenly to 3 men, he gives one dollar back to each of them, and keeps the last two for himself. if each man only ended up paying nine dollars (9 x 3= 27) and the worker has the other 2$ (27+2=29), how can that possibly add up to thirty? where did that dollar get lost? its supposed to add up to 30.....help me!!

A farmer had a stone that he used to measure grain on his scale. One day his neighbor borrowed the stone, and when he returned, it was broken into four pieces. The neighbor was very apologetic, but the farmer thanked the neighbor for doing him a big favor. The farmer said that now he can measure his grain in one pound increments starting at one pound all the way to forty pounds (1, 2, 3, 17, 29, 37, etc.) using these four stones.

How much do the four stones weigh?

The following night two friends check into the same motel. Once again the clerk charges them $30, or $15 per person. After the clerk remembers the total rate is only $25 he sends the bellhop upstairs with five $1 bills to pay the two friends back. The bellhop knows he got away with larceny once so he tries it again. But this time he pockets $3 and returns $2 to the hotel guests ($1 per guest). So each of the two guests got $1 back from their original $15. Therefore each paid $14 which is a total payment of $28 for the room. Now the bellhop has $3, the guests paid $28, for a total of $31....THERE'S THE MISSING DOLLAR!!!!
