It's considered a brain teaser because after the $1.00 refund, each man has paid $9.00 for the room (9 x 3 = 27) and the bellboy has $2.00 thus $27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00. Where did the remaining $1.00 go?


each man paid 10.00....when they should have paid 8.33, so the men were owed back 1.66 each....but the bellboy got only (5) 1.00 bills back, no change, so the bell boy SHOULD have given 1.66 back to each man, but he didn't, since he had no change...so, he gave back to each man 1.00 and kept the 66 cents from each of the 3 men, that adds up to (2) 1.00 bills
