Classic Riddle
Three people check into a hotel.
They pay $60 as the rent of the room.
After they check-in, the manager realize that the rent for the room is $55.
So, he gives $5 to the bellboy and asks him to give it to them.
The bellboy thinks that it will be difficult for the three people to share $5 among them and seeking the personal benefit, he pockets $2 and gives the remaining $3 to them.

Now, each person paid $20 and got back $1.
In this manner, each of them paid just $19 which totals to the amount of $57.
The bellboy has $2 with him and adding them, we get $59.
So where is the remaining $1?

Answer 1

Those three men have 1 each. So total is 3. and the bell boy has 2 with him. So the difference is 1. Here's the remaining 1.
