Here's a teaser.  See if you can figure this out.  It's quite old and I came
across it again.  AND CAN WE ALL GET ALONG M'BOKAYEE???

Three men checked into a hotel room for which they paid $30. The next day,
the manager realized that the men had been overcharged. She gave the bellhop
$5 to return to the three men. On the way to their room the bellhop decided
to keep $2 for himself, and give each of the three men one dollar. The three
men had now paid $9 each, or a total of $27. This plus the $2 the bellhop
kept makes a total of $29. What happened to the other dollar?
