Three lads check into a hotel, asking for one room for the night. The clerk says the room is €30 so the chaps had over an even €10 each. Later the clerk realises that he's overcharged the lads and the bill should only be €25. He takes €5 to refund to the lads and heads to their room to return it. On the way he realizes that €5 will not divide equally amongst three. The clerk decides to keep €2 for himself and refund the chaps a euro each. So, each of the lads got €1 back: meaning they only paid €9 each; bringing the total paid to €27. The clerk has the leftover €2. That’s €27 that lads paid, plus the €2 the clerk kept = €29 So, if the guests originally handed over €30, what happened to the remaining €1?Enjoy. Bye. (Sorry).
