OK smart guys, this is one of my favorite riddles. When I was a supervisor at MyFamdamily.com I held a smart guy contest for my team and I gave them this riddle. The most memorable (albeit incorrect) response was "Why are 3 men getting a motel room anyway?" I will post the answer tomorrow.
Three men went to a motel. The motel manager said a room cost $30, so each man put up $10 and went to their room. A little while later the manager realized the room was only $25, so he sent the bellhop back to the three guys' room with $5. On the way to the room the bellhop couldn't figure out how to split the $5 between the 3 men, so he gave each one of them $1 and he kept the other $2.
This meant that the 3 men paid $9 each for the room for a total of $27. Add the $2 that the bellhop kept = $29. Where did the other dollar go???
