Three traveling salesmen arrive at a hotel.

One room sleeps three and costs $30.

They decide to split the room and pay $10 each.

They go to their room and go to sleep.

The hotel clerk later realized the room was supposed to be discounted to $25 because of some bullshite promotion.

He wanted to refund the $5 to the men, but he couldn't split $5 between three people easily. So, he decided he'd just give them each back a dollar and pocket the leftover $2 to himself.

So, that's exactly what he did. He knocked on the door, the sleepy salesmen arose, he explained the situation, and gave them each back $1.

The room was $25.

Each salesman has now paid $9 for the room ($28).

The clerk pocketed $2. ($28-$2 = $26)

Where did the extra dollar go?

Either rolled up real tight to snort some coke, or up your arse. Maybe both, who knows.

Two women go on a business trip. One has sexual feelings for the other. She starts... "I'll be frank."

The other one replies, "No! I'll be Frank."

The problem is NP-complete, and I just don't have the time to try it.

There is no missing dollar

25+3=28

28+stolen 2 = 30

You said it yourself

Again, 28+2=30

Sorry, I can't get past the premise of a room for only $30.
