It must be with the cashier lol

@RiLaR: no, nothing from the question is hidden.

Gives them $1 each and there are three of em thats $3 and bellboy keeps $2 that equals $5 by my count there isn't a dollar missing....think you worded this one wrong Hawk?

@JLaDawn: no hun, cut copy paste, lol.

@Hawkeye58: uhmm...

You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?

The gave cashier $30 got back $3 and bell boy kept $2....that leaves the $25 left paying for room....don't see a missing $1

There is no missing dollar from the original $30 because after getting $1 back, the three travelers had paid a total of $27 for their room ($9 each), not $30. Out of that $27, the hotel has $25 and the clerk kept the remaining $2. If you still want to work from the original $30, the travelers have $3, the hotel has $25 and the bellboy has $2. The misleading part is adding the bellboy's $2 to the $27, when in fact it should be subtracted.

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower will win. The brothers, after wandering aimlessly for days, ask a wise man for advise. After hearing the advice they jump on the camels and race as fast as they can to the city. What does the wise man say?

Oh!!! Lol
