READ THIS CAREFULLY.
THE IS A SIMPLE BUT A VERY TRICKY ONE.
THOSE OF YOU WHO GET IT WILL HAVE NO PROBS, WHILE OTHERS WILL REALLY TURN M@D
Three men decided to split the cost of a hotel room. The hotel manager gave them a price of Rs.30.
The men split the bill evenly, each paying Rs.10, and went to their room. However, the hotel manager realized that it was a Wednesday night, which meant the hotel had a special: rooms were only Rs.25. He had overcharged them Rs.5!
He called the bellboy, gave him five one rupee coins and told him to return it to the men.
When the bellboy explained the situation to the men, they were so pleased at the honesty of the establishment that they promptly tipped the bellboy Rs.2 of the Rs.5 he had returned and each kept Re.1 for himself.
So each of the three men ended up paying Rs.9 (their original Rs.10, minus Re.1 back) totalling Rs.27, plus Rs.2 for the bellboy makes Rs.29.
Where did the extra rupee go?
