It depends on how you say it• 3 guys traveling• Hotel room $25• “I don’t want to divide $25 by 3, let’s do $30, so they
pay an even $10 each – and I’ll keep $5.”• “Take back the extra $5 . . .”• “I don’t want to divide $5 by 3, lets give $1 back each,
so they only pay an even $9 each – and I’ll keep $2.”• So, they originally paid $30 ($10 each), then got
refunded $1 each (now $9 each), and the bellhop kept $2.
• 9X3 = 27 + 2 = 29 . . . Where did the other $1 go?
