Here is a new one:

Randy,John and Mark were on their way to LA.But their car had some technical problems so they went to a Hotel to stay in the night.When they entered, the clerk tells them the bill is 30,payableinadvance.So,theyeachpaytheclerk30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk 10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by 5.Heasksthebellhoptoreturn5. He asks the bellhop to return 5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make 2ashereasonsthatthethreefriendswouldhaveatoughtimedividing2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing 5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only 3,givingadollarbacktoeachofthefriends.Hepocketstheleftover3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover 2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid 9fortheroomwhichisatotalof9 for the room which is a total of 27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed 2andaddingthattothe2 and adding that to the 27, you get 29,not29, not 30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

Salam :)
ermm!
he pocketed 2whichshouldbesubtractedfrom2 which should be subtracted from 27 to get $25....isnt it? :s
