New Math ??

Three guys decided to get a room together and split the cost.
The manager charged them $30.00.
Later, he figured he had over charged them and sent the bell boy to return $5.00 to the guys.
The bellboy thought that $5.00 three ways does not split well, so he gave them $3.00 dollars back.
Each guy figured he had paid $10.00 - $1.00 = $9.00.
The bellboy had his two dollar "tip".
3 X $9.00 = $27.00 +$2.00 = $29.00

What happened to the other dollar from the original $30.00??????

Fuzzy Math! Oldie but goodie. Been telling folks that one for years and some just go insane trying to figure it out.

BTW: There is no extra dollar. The bell boy's $2 is part of $27 that the men have paid (net) along with the $25 is at the desk. Add the dollar they each got back and you have $30. 25+3+2 Fuzzy man!!
Good.
