Brainteaser from Gene:

sExYnAhMjA: can you answer this?
sExYnAhMjA: you, me, and ken stop at a motel
sExYnAhMjA: we want to save money so we get one room and split the cost
sExYnAhMjA: guy says it's $30
sExYnAhMjA: so we each pay 10
sExYnAhMjA: then the bellboy comes in and says the manager fucked up and it's really $25
sExYnAhMjA: so he gives us $5 back
sExYnAhMjA: since we can split $5 equally
sExYnAhMjA: we each get $1
sExYnAhMjA: and give $2 to the bellboy
sExYnAhMjA: since we each paid $10 and we get $1 back, it's $9 each
sExYnAhMjA: times 3 is $27
sExYnAhMjA: bellboy get $2
sExYnAhMjA: that's $29
sExYnAhMjA: where's the other dollar?
