Three people went to a hotel for a night.
They each payed 10 dollars.
The bellboy realized that they gave him 5 dollars extra
so he gave each man 1 dollar and kept 2 for himself.
so each man payed 9 dollars
nine plus nine plus nine equals 27
plus 2
is 29
SO WHO WAS 1?

if there were 5 dollars extra that means that 2 ppl paid 1 dolar extra and the last paid 1 dolar extra so when the bellboy returned 3 dolars 2 persons had 9 dolars and the last got his 10 dolars, so 9+9+10=28 +2=30
oh well some1 said it first
