Three men check into a hotel. The man behind the desk says the room is $30, so each man pays $10 and they go to the room.
A while later the man behind the desk realizes the room is only $25, so he sends the bellboy to the 3 guy's room with $5 to return to the guests. On the way the bellboy cannot figure out how to split $5 evenly among 3 men, so he gives each man $1 and keeps the other $2 for himself. This means that the 3 men each paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27; add the $2 that the bellboy kept = $29.
Where is the other dollar ?

The right equation is:
Room: 25 bucks
Bellboy Tip: 2 bucks
Total: 27 bucks
If each one paid 9 bucks, we have 3x9=27.
So the problem is that you are counting twice the tip! ;-)
There is not 1 dollar missing!
