Three men went into a motel to hire a room. The man behind the desk said the room was £30, so each man paid £10 and went to the room.
Later the man behind the desk realized the room was only £25 (it wasn't much of a room!), so he sent the porter over to repay the guests £5.
On the way the porter couldn't figure out how to split £5 evenly between three men, so he gave each man £1 and kept the other £2 for himself.
This meant that the three men each paid £9 for the room, which is a total of £27. Together with the £2 that the porter kept, that makes £29.
Where is the other pound?"
