  • WRONG

    HE DOES THE MATH ALL WRONG TO CONFUSE YOU. IT'S SIMPLE THE ROOM COST $27 ($25 PLUS $2 THE BELL HOP KEPT) THAT LEAVES $3 TO BE DIVIDED. DEEDEEDEE

    By jolleyallen 1171593109
    • This was the simplest explanation

      folks, no need to go into complicated explanations, just get to the point.

      By rickyk1 1171633565
    • Right, but in other words

      The three men paid $30 and got back $3 so they SPENT $27. The bell hop GAINED $2 of that $27 so it makes no sense to add the $2 like in the video. Subtract instead which leaves the $25 that the night manager kept.

      By chillmaster222 1172303765
    • yeah

      The bellhop is simply screwing the men out of 2 bucks. At the end you think ok, they DID each pay 9 dollars.....9x3 is 27 and 2 bucks the bellhop kept. You forget to figure in that the room was reduced to 25 bucks. The men paid 27 dollars for a 25 dollar room and the bellhop screwed them over for 2 bucks. Even after you figure it out, you can still go over it in your head and still come up with 29 bucks.

  • Yep

    They never got the $2 back, so it doesn't enter into the equation - just the $3 (room=$25 $3 = $28, not $27). Nothing really amazing about that.

    Make sure to have the teller actually COUNT your change back to you, folks!

    By flameproof 1171478731
    • ANSWER HERE

      this is the answer without complication actually unlike the way you wrote it......
      Man 1= 10$ Man 2= 10$ Man 3= 10$....
      now they paid 10$ each so now theyre broke...
      Man 1= 0.00 Man 2= 0.00 Man 3= 0.00
      but it really cost 25$ so they each get 1 dollar back so now its...
      Man 1= 1$ Man 2= 1$ Man 3= 1$
      so add those 3$ to 25$ and then you have 28$. And the Teller has 2$ so
      28$ + 2$ = 30$. the other dollar is in one of the mens pocket.

      By Jax310 1172002735
    • Answer

      If the room costs 25 dollar, it simply means that one man has to pay 1 dollar extra because 25 doesn't go into 3. Hence 8+8+9 = 25 and the bell boy pocketing 2 dollar leaving 3 dollar adds up to 30.

    • Hotel video

      Yawn.....27+3=28 28+2=30 Simple. Or 30-5=25(+3)=28+2=30. No matter how you word it, it's the numbers not the words. If the bellman has a 2 dollar bill then there would be a "bill" missing but the numbers would be correct at 30 not 29.What's so difficult?

      By NYBill 1172046527
    • Hmmm......

      27+3=28?

      Are you sure?

      Simple case of over-complicating simple maths. Like 'Hotel Video' said, it's in the numbers, not the words. Although I wouldn't take his word for it if you look at his maths....

    There isnt any money missing... The price of the room is $25 each one of the three men have $1 a piece and the belhop has $2 all totaling $30. There's no money missing! It's Great! I love brain teasers!

  • mathmatical error

    it's incorrect to add what has been taken away {I.e.the two dollars}

    By pdabber57 1288947023
  • ask yourself this question!

    If you were to ask the guys who got the dollar back, how much they spent out of thier pocket they would say $9, and you would say the same thing. so 3 x $9 = $27 and in real life the bellhop only kept $2. so that makes it $29
    so for all you people that thinks he did the math wrong, the math is right even in real life. the real question is?
    What makes that dollar disappear?

    By ThickVIC 1270001314
  • simple

    27 divided by 3 =9 3 divided by 100 = 33.333etc it was only .1 cent left

    By pomona386 1267293416
  • shrewd bell hop

    i think what makes us confused is the detail that there were 3 guys who checked in and paid 10 dollars each for a 30 dollar motel room. but if we put it aside... just take note: the room costs 25 dollars, not 30 dollars (accdg to the manager)... so the bell hop is told to return 5 dollars... but he pockets 2 dollars because he says it's messy to divide 5 dollars among 3 people, and instead gives them a dollar each! that's the catch man... the shrewd bell hop made the 3 guys pay 28 dollars for a 25 dollar motel room! cool...

    By noelsdb 1264609885

    the moral of the story is the bell hop screwed them outta 2 bucks id have his job for that >:(!

  • dumb

    You people are dumber than you think ... Its true that 25 3 2 is 30$. But this is not the point.

    If everyone pays 10$ and gets one back, than everyone of them have payed 9$.

    10$ - 1$ is 9$ and 3 × 9$ is 27 ... the rest figure it out yourself.

    if the manager gave the bellhop back $5 to give to the men then the room cost $25 + $3 the bellhop gave them back. thats $28. the other $2 was in the bellhops pocket. so, $25 for the room+$3 back + $2 the bellhop has is $30. doed this guy think were dumb???????????

    By barrabas 1173569363
  • Real answer

    1st u take 5 dollars away from the 30 due to the manager handin over 5 dollars then that leaves the tourist still wantin there 3 dollars so he gives them a dollar each so that each 25+3 = 28 dollars.. then on top of it the man still has 2dollars left over in which he keeps

    What tricks u is that when u minus 3 dollars u think its correct because the way it sounds but infact u should be addin the 3 dollars onto the 25 because u r takin away from the total sum not the sum of the tourist inwhich paid.

    By damo big man 1173331471
  • easy!!!

    there is a lil trick in the question i figure the math in 2 seconds it took me a little longer to find the trick in the question, see he says each man paid 9 dollars and that = 27 wich is true and then says the bellhop has 2 dollars in his pocket so wheres the last dollar, heres the thing they paid 25 for the room and then the bellhop took 2 that comes to 27 to that u add the 3 dolars the mens got back and u get 30,what the bell hop took is in the 27 dollars easy!!

    By squidpig 1173076228
  • Easiest


    First Each man paid 9 dollars.... thats 27 dollars.
    Each man still has 1 dollar... thats 3 dollars.

    27 + 3 = 30 ... its that simple.

    And the bellhop takes 2 of the dollars the men spend. 2

    27 - 2 = 25...

    By ShadowDan 1173048245
  • Explanation Is Wrong

    3 man paid $30 but they are suppose to pay $25 so bell kept took $5 kept $2 and gave three man three $3 back.

    $25 $2 $3=$30

    There is no missing dollar.

    By andyb123 1173014447
  • soooooo simple

    he makes you add the $2 dollars but your supposed to subtract it. When you do that it equals $25. Simple.

    By joey1000 1173001642
  • The answer

    If they paid 30 dollars and got 5 dollars off then they paid only 25 dollars. So 25 dollars plus the 3 they got back and the 2 the bell boy kept equals 30. SO theres no missing dollar

    By kruelwanderer 1172972586

    I wasn't confused by the problem. I was just wondering what's the point. The bellhop gives them each a dollar (3 dollars). I was thinking why in the world is he adding 2 dollars back into the whole when he is supposed to subtract it to 25. lol

  • It is an old

    trick. People get so confused with the right words said that they strike a blank. It is very simple. You cant take the 3 men individually you will have to take them as one and then you will get the answer within second. 3 men paid $30 the man took $25 for the room. $2 for himself and gave $3 back to the 3 men. And that = $30!

    By no1trader 1172863320
  • i got the simple answer for you

    the motel: 25$
    the men: 3$
    the billhop: 2$

    that goes to 30$....no reason to be thinking of this!

    By lordbastian799 1172857988
  • The Answer is easy

    if you have although the men paid $9 each that is what paid although however if the ball hop hadnt taken The $2 the would and divided it correctly they would have paid $8.33* eg: 10x3 = 30, 30-5 = 25, 25div3 = 8.33*

    so the trick is in the riddle although the men thought they paid $9 they actually got ripped off how were they supposed to know they were only to pay $8.33*

    By Pixonator 1172802778
  • DOH!

    think about it, each room now costs 25€, the guy gives 3€ back to each, that doesnt mean they have 9€ per room, it means each room now costs 25€ divided by 3, wich = to 8.33(3) per person, now he gave 3€ back to each, so it makes 8.33(3) + 1 and then multiple it by 3, wich = to 28 [9.33(3) x3] plus the 2 the other guy kept makes 30... blah ^^

    By Vandeta 1172786848
  • Not that hard....

    Technically they didn't pay $9 each...they really paid $25 so the guy gave back $3 and kept two...25 3 2= $30....right? How was that hard.....?

    $10 EACH TO MAKE $30
    REAL PRIZE IT $25
    SO CHANGE IS $5
    $2 FOR THE BELL HOP
    THE REMAINING $3 IS DISTRIBUTED A DOLLAR EACH
    SO, IF THEY GOT BACK $1 EACH, THEN THEY PAID $9 EACH. 9X3=27 (25 ROOM + 2 FOR BELL HOP) THEN THE $3 CHANGE. PROBLEM SOLVED!

    yeah just think about this for a minute he "TRICKS" you into thinking that they paid $27 for the room... they paid $25 for the room, but the bell hop kept $2 so he kept the two and then gave them $3 back one a piece... so $25(for room)+$2(bell hop kept it)+$3($1 for each of the guys)=$30

    By darthne0 1172623102
  • he just makes it sound confusing

    when the bellhop gives them 5 dollars back, that means they paied 25 dollars all togther. 3 dollars given to them is not 27,(dumbass) it is 28. then the other 2 dollars

    By killjoy97 1172620713
  • one of the most amazingly stupid tales

    By Jaesyn 1172522603
  • the original mistake

    the original mistake is not taking the bellhops honesty into the question. There was no mistake, he pocketed 5 dollars of the original 30, so now he has 5+2=7, the men have a dollar each so 3+7=10, plus the 25 dollars for the room makes 35$ and only 30 dollars being initially exchanged so there is a dicrepency of 5$ and the hotels refund of 5$ means the hotel is down $10 so now we have the current finacial statues of the parties involved. the bellhop is +7, the guests are +3 and the hotel are +15 which all adds up to $25. so where is the 5$

    By jimmykneecricket 1172521629
  • okey

    The three men paid 10 dollars each.
    10 x 3 = 30 dollars
    so let's say the shopkeeper now has 30 dollars, he takes away 5, and now he has 25.
    3 of those 5 dollars, goes to the men, and now there's 28 dollars, we know where are. The last two dollars he kept, so he ends up with 25 2 = 27, and the last three, the men have.

  • Haa

    I can't believe out of 197 people, none of you has gotten this. That is much less than 3%. I got it after thinking about it for about 1 minute, and I am a male. Here's the answer:

    They paid $25 dollars for the room instead of $30. $25/3 = $8.33 paid by each of the men (not $9 each). ($8.33 +$1.00)*3 = $28.00 + $2 in bellhops pocket = $30 total given to manager before the mistake was corrected.

  • Car Sales People use this logic

    This is about persuasion, a car salesman told me this and some other ways of manipulating thinking...imagine that. the basic trick to this is that you are trying to get it all to add up to 30 dollars. because we are taught to add things up. The true anwer is -- that if you SUBTRACT the 2 dollars from the 27 which the men paid, you will get 25, which is what they paid for the room.

    By extradollar 1172310168
  • Silly... Just follow the money

    The problem people are making here is NOT following the money. Yes, the guys get $1 dollar each back. So in effect they did pay $9 dollars each. But they DO NOT HAVE nine dollars each, because they already paid $10 each. The one holding the bulk of the money is the HOTEL and NOT the men. The men have $1 dollar each = $3 dollars, the bellboy has $2 dollars, and the Hotel has $25 dollars.

    3 2 25 = 30

    THERE IS NO MISSING DOLLAR PEOPLE!!!!

    Think.

    By Slacker420 1172298410
  • Here's How

    One doesn't add the 2 the bellboy kept, one subtracts it. Just as you subtracted the 3 the renters got back from 30 to get 27, you subtract the 2 from 27 to get 25 which is what the room costs.

    There is no "missing buck".

    I love this story and have told it for years to friends. Drives some dang near crazy.....

    By robkei 1172282988
  • Amusing, But Very Silly.!

    It's very much like asking:

    If there is an integer between the number 2 and 3, is it even or odd?

    Yeah, sure, if you add 27 to 2, you'd conjure up a 29, but what does it represent? It only makes sense to subtract 2 from 27, equals 25, which is what the manager receives.

    By gus_fan 1172279342
  • wow

    ok, when they paid 30 dollars, they each paid 10, when they were to get 5 dollars back, they should have been paying 25. so give them their 3 dollars back that the bell hop does, but when you do, your not trying to find how to get to 30 anymore, your trying to find how to get to 25. 9x3= 27 27-2(the bell hops 2 dollars) equals 25. easy.

  • This is how you do it.

    Guys I´ll tell you the answer it´s as simple as he´s using multiplication instead of adding.
    that´s where the fault lies.
    3*9=27 . the bell keeps 2 that´s 29 we´re missing 1 $

    Here´s how you do it!
    30-5=25
    he gives each guy 3$
    25+3=28
    he keeps 2$
    28+2=30$

    The wrong lies in mixing + and *
    they pay 30 $

    By Harjula 1172177950
  • stupid

    they ask 25 and you give them 27 the rest is in mgr pocket ... try somthin else smarter

    By falcon2 eager 1172166205
  • Answer is:

    See it's a trick. The bellhop keeping the $2 means that it is part of the cost of the room. It shouldn't be added to the $9 x 3 = $27. Because the $2 is included in the 27 dollars ie: $25+$2 = $27. Instead you should add $3 to $27 equaling $30, because this is the amount that isn't actually part of the cost!

    By jammyfox 1172153646
  • thats stuped and im a dude

    hay see the fact is they payed $10 each where soposed to get $5 back, bell hop took $2. so each man got $1, witch =$3 so 30-5=25 now they were soposed to get 5 back, so 25+5=30, all money is aconted for, bellhop toke 2 leaving the men w/3 overall, stell adding up 2 $5 out of the 30, therfor there isnt 1 cent missing. booyah,see wemen dont have all the branes.

    By sweetie13 1172054508
  • OMG better answer

    2 men walk into the same motel. They buy a $20 room. The man at the counter again realizes that it was $5 cheaper.
    He gives $5 to the bellhop.
    The bellhop thinks "I got away with larceny once, I'll do it again."
    He gives 1$ back to each man. That means, they each payed $9, plus the $3 dollars in the bellhop's pocket!
    9+9+3 = 21!
    There's the missign dollar.

  • LOL!

    you guys are so stupid its easy! ok get this..--the ppl paid 30$ and they couldnt divde 5$ to three men so the bellhop kept 2$ and they each got back 1$ = 3$ and then they had paid 25$ and
    25$+2$+3$=30$!!!!

    By hotsexydude899 1171957000
  • Duhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

    Ok first off they payed 25 dollars point blank so leave the 25 dollars to the hotel!!! The guy throws us off by saying 9x3=27 +2=29 saying that each man payed 9 dollars but in all accuality they only really payed 25 dollars in the first place making each pay 8.33 and getting 5 back the boy kept 2 dollars so 8.33x3=25(hotel) +2 (boy's keep) +3 (what was given back)=30 smackarooes!!! ha!ha!ha! so there!!!

    By Sear21 1171955684
  • math the other way

    30= 10 x 3
    27= 9 x 3
    25= 8.334 x 3

    he must hav only ever asked 5 year olds

    By tuxxx 1171728140
  • Answer

    They paid $30 in total, $5 was extra, so remaining $25 has to be divided between them, which is $8.3333, either one of them received an extra $1 or each been paid 0.33333 cent. by saying that they each paid $9 he tries to hid 0.333333 cent payment.

    By Pedram28 1171722450

    By juliocesarcalle 1171692587
  • u guys dont get it... but i think 1 did

    Take it back the other way... if the 3 men had to pay $25 each then it works out at 8.333333
    When the guy telling the story sais they each get $1 he sais the men pay 9$ not $9.33 So thats were the other doller went 9.33 x 3 = 28 + the 2$ bell hopt kept... simple

    By Random guy 92 1171690378
  • You Don't Think Much

    Every guy of the three guys paid 9 (including the bellhop tip) = 27$.
    That means that every guy paid 8.333333333333333333 and something for the room +0.66666666666666667 and someting for the bellhop.
    He tells you that each guy paid 9$ * 3 =27 to get you confused.

    By pauwelsjeroen 1171647798
  • Makes no sense

    Why does your equation ADD the two dollars two the twenty-seven that the men paid? The two dollars SUBTRACTED from the twenty-seven equals the net price of the room. There's no reason to try and add-up any numbers to equal thirty because that is not the NET amount paid by the men. The men paid 3 X 9 each or $27. Twenty five went to the hotelier and two to the bell-hop. End of story.

    5 3 2= 10
    there you go 30 dollars

    By F.E.A.R.L.E.S.S 1171604045
  • actually...

    I've heard this before. There isnt any money missing. The last part was a play of words. If they did pay 9 dollars each, then 2 would go to the bellhop since the room is only $25.

    By kurobara 1171603887
  • you forgot to mention 9.33%

    How are you going to be able to state that they paid 9 dollars each, the guys gives them 3 dollars because he kept 2 dollars , which means a total purchase of the room for 28 dollars? then you say well 28 divided by 3 isn't 9 but 9.3333 . Think about this one , 2 x2 equals 4 right , well whats 3 dollars x 3 dollars = ?

  • not telling this to others

    no m not telling this video to others.coz its so simple.a 2nd grader can answer.the room only cost $25,so the billhop must return $5.but he kept $2 and returned $3 instead. ($1 to each men).

    By wardsun32307 1171547989

    it don't matter about the extra dollar. the room cost $25 plus the one dollar each man got equals $28 plus the $2 the bell hop got equals 30.

    By Alliance-Studios 1171530460
  • the simple one

    they spent $25 for the room and $2 for the bellboy
    total amount is $27, each person has to pay $9. Each person gave $10 - $1 for the change.
    In math equation: 27 / 3 = 10 - 1
    9 = 9

    30 ok
    30-5=25 which the room should cos so
    the guy wnated to giv them the 5 back "forget the 9 part its just to confuse u"
    the really pay 9.33 :P not 9 but stay focused
    5-2 for the guy leaves 3
    3+ the 25 = 28! not 20 which explains 30-2 for they guyi.e they paid 28 for the room not 27 not 9x3 but 9.33x3= ruffly 28 cause u can't devide 28 by three

    By akaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 1171475756
    • Sorry you are confused!

      Not 30-5...it is 30-3=27, the 2 dollars should not be entered into this, as it is not subtracted therefore cannot be added.
      10-1=9...9x3-27, the answer is you are thinking too much. do not add the 2.or if you want here:
      30-3=27, 27-2=25 ... 25+3+2=30.
      Point is you cannot add it if it was not part of the equation ........

      By Bowjack 1171489459
  • Nothing Amazing About This

    It is quite simple, the problem is how it is told. You can't logically say they spent $27 total and then add the $2. They spent $27 and each one got a $1 back. Play it out with 30 pennies on your table and you will see the "magic" is in the wording and that there is no missing $1.

    Very well done though, 5 stars. I used to tell this years ago and I am amazed at how some of the most intelligent people I told get so confused.

    By gondiggn 1171473877
  • The answer is insuffiecent.

    The answer on the webpage doesn't account for the manner in which it's described in the video, it uses simple math. Clearly there is no extra dollar, however 9X3=27 plus 2 =29. ?? That line of math doesn't equate.

    By joshmo 1171469458
    • Yes it does

      it is just wrong, you cannot add the 2 back on if it were never taken off in the first place.!!!

      Math is never wrong. People are!

      By Bowjack 1171473616
    • Just confusing math...

      $9 x 3 men = $27 then SUBTRACT the two dollars for the actual price of the room (i.e. $25)

    30$ for the room ok
    the 1 that they did give to the 3 guys is acctuallu worth 25 so
    they give back 5$ to the 3 guys but 2 are for the the the well i dont know how to say it but the other guy that works at the motel now 30-5=25 so 25 + 2+ 1+1+1= 30 so where is the other $? up your ass man dont get confused with the 9 S**t

    By Hell-mut 1171573523
  • easy

    30 $ - 2$ (for the man) = 28 $ - 3$ (for each man in the room) = 25 (the cost of the room)
    the story is confusing
    the room was 8,(3) for each 25/3= 8,(3)
    they never paid 9 $ each
    adn by the way, I'm a woman :))

    By dominique007 1171549480

      The thing is not to add the 2$:

    the answer is that when u multiply the answer comes out differently because it is multyplying by an odd number and to the idiot that think you multyply by 9.33 where the f**k did u go to school 10-1=9 dumb f**k
    there is no actual answer its just a mathamatical thing thats all
