3 men go to a hotel to rent a room..the clerk charges them 30 dollars..so each man pays 10 dollars each...the men go up to the room and the clerk realizes he over charged them 5 dollars..the room was only 25 dollars not 30. So he gives the bus boy 5 dollars to take up to the men...since 5 doesn't divide into 3 very nice the bus boy keeps two dollars and gives the men 3 dollars back...each man gets a dollar..that means each man paid 9 dollars...instead of 10 ( they all got one dollar back.) 9 times 3 is 27 dollars...the bus boy pocketed the 2 dollars..thats only 29 dollars..where did the other 1 dollar go???

The men paid 27 dollars total...25 for the room and two dollars for the tip to the bell boy.
27/3=9. Am I right? |

If you figure this out correctly, the entire $30 dollars the men originally laid out is accounted for.

Well let me try again... The men paid 27 dollars total...25 for the room and two dollars for the tip to the bell boy.
Add to the 27 dollar the three dollars in their pockets and you have your 30 dollars.
Am I right? |

Hurrican is right. Funny that is how the question read. Who am I.
All about, but cannot be seen,
Can be captured, cannot be held,
No throat, but can be heard.
What Am I?

It wasn't a tune or a note?
Obviously you people have forgotten that I'm Mr. Gnowhital. Hmmff!

Nothing.
Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it.

The flying part is throwing me off, but otherwise it sounds like a Shadow. Is that it?

A cowboy rides into town on Friday, stays for three days and leaves on Friday. How did he do it?

Friday is the name of his horse.
I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball

I come in different shapes and sizes. Part of me are curves, others are straight. You can put me anywhere you like, but there is only one right place for me.
