brain teaser 1
I am not yet done with posting all of our "gReEn DaY" pics! =) while waiting for our beautiful pictures, try to answer this mind-boggling puzzle...
Three people check into a hotel. They pay £30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is £25 and gives £5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that £5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets £2 and gives £1 to each person. Now each person paid £10 and got back £1. So they paid £9 each, totalling £27. The bellboy has £2, totalling £29. Where is the missing £1?

The statement "they paid £9 each, totalling £27" is correct. But included in the £27 they paid is the £2 that the bellboy took. (£25 for the room rate plus £2 that the bellboy took = £27, then add the £3 that the bellboy gave back to the three people makes £30)
