3 guys go to check into a hotel. When they walk in the bellboy say's "the room's are $30 a night". Well, these boys are lookin to party so they all want the same room so they each hand the bellboy $10. (10x3=30)

The bellboy walks up to the counter and the desk clerk says "you idiot the rooms are on special for $25 a night". He then hands the bellboy back $5 in $1 bills. Trying to figure out how he is going to give 3 guys back 5 $1 bills the bellboy decides he will give each guy back $1 and keep $2 for himself.

If the bellboy gave each guy back a $1 that would mean each guy is basically spending $9 for the room correct??

Soooo....if 9x3=27 and the bellboy kept $2 .....and 27+2=29

Where did the other dollar go?

Classic example of misdirection.

Teh men each paid $9 for the room or $27 total.
The hotel got $25 and the bellboy got US$2 so 25 + 2 = 27.
It's a trick question and the 30 is not the solution (it's the number that makes you confused).

You put the proper context on it and say each man initially paid $10 and had $1 returned to them.

Sooo.... 30 - 3 = 27 = 25 + 2.

What are their current ages?  

I jus tried it a second time And i really dont know??

does this involve Algebra?  

hmm lemme try some Variables...

You can't give an abstract riddle, like "a broken pencil and a bullet wound" because riddles should give all the information to figure it out, you just need to use your mind. You can't assume there's a hunter nearby firing bullets, or what-have-you. Most riddles have just 1 answer, and if you can come up with 50+ hypothetical answers, it's not really a riddle My opinion.



Look, 30 bucks paid, but the price was really 25. So 5 bucks extra. He gives 3 bucks back (25+3=28) and keeps the other two (28+2=30). There's no missing dollar.

Heres one:

Two men in a Cabin in the woods are dead from the same cause. Both were in good health, had no quarrel with each other, were in possesion of no Firearms and no person, animal, or disease was involved in thier death. How'd they die?

Oh I get it. It is the cabin of a plane that crashed.

It is easy to calculate if you just can formulate an equation from the unnaturally long sentence.
My mind also began boiling after a few conditions in the sentence in the initial attempts, but I solved it
