    3 blokes walk into a pub to get a room for the night. Owner says its $30 per night for the room, so each one of the guys pulls $10 out of their pockets, pays the owner, and they walk off to their room.

    The owner suddenly realises that its Monday night, and they have a special rate of only $25 per night. He reaches into the till and takes out the $5 change (5 x $1 coins) to give back to the guys.

    As he is about to knock on the door he looks at the five $1 coins in his palm and realises it will be difficult to divide it by 3, so he decides to pocket $2 for himself and just give the guys back a $1 each.

    So he gives them back a dollar each. They originally paid $10, got $1 back so they only paid $9 each. and $9 x 3 = $27, plus the $2 the owner put in his pocket = total $29!

    Where did the extra dollar go?????????????

    Keep thinking ,

    The point is they didn’t pay $30 or $29 they paid $27 and there is $25 in the till and the man has $2 in his sky rocket.

    Cheers Drhappy
