9. Three guests check into a hotel room.

The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10.

Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25.

To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests.

On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally.

As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep$2 for himself.

Each guest got $1 back: so now each guest only paid$9; bringing the total paid to $27.

The bellhop has $2.

And $27 + $2= $29 so, if the guests originally handed over $30,

what happened to the remaining $1?

tough question but let me attempt to solve it.
in the first place the sum total of 27+2 is wrong because it does not include the 25$ already in possession of the clark. so I think this 27 already included the 2$ in the possession of the bellhop so to add it to the 27$ is double counting it. but the 3$ the bellhop gave to the guests is not a part the 27$ so 27 + 3 = 30.
hope I tried.

let me explain this again from another angle. the Clark was given 10$ by each guest which will total to 30$. but the Clark realising the actual amount to be paid is 25$ gave the bellhop 5$ to give to guests.

the bellhop realising that he cannot share the money equally took 2$ and shared 1$ to each guest.

this should be the 25$ in possession of the Clark + the 2$ in possession of the bellhop + the 3$ in possession of the guests =25 + 2 + 3 = 30$.

the trick here is the false summation of 27 + 2

Five men are going through the street.

It starts raining.

Four of them start moving faster.

The fifth man makes no effort to run from rain, however, he stays dry.

The other four get wet anyway.

All of them arrive at their destination together.

Explorers:
At the beginning of WW1, British soldiers wore brown cloth caps.

But many soldiers were suffering from head injuries.

The officials were worried about that so they issued an order to make helmets for their soldiers.


However, the number of soldiers with head injuries increased after the change was made.

Why do you think that happened?

because the general number of soldiers increased as well

Head injuries increase because the number of dead men reduced... Initially, there were more dead soldiers than head injuries...

Explorers:
A man lives on a 10th floor of some building. Every morning he takes the elevator to the ground floor to go shopping for groceries.

When he comes back, he takes the elevator to the 7th floor and continues by stairs to reach his apartment on the 10th floor.

Why?


Lalasticlala, Mynd44

Do elevators have 7th floor?

So what's the answer

somehow:
It says 5 men, hence the reason I am letting you know a corpse is no longer tagged as a man. So that analogy is out of it

I am not sure but definitely not the answer bases on the question
