11. Three men share a hotel room. They each put in $10, because the room cost $30. After they are in their room, the clerk realizes the room should only cost $25, so he sends the bellhop up with $5 change to be equally split among the three men. The bellhop cannot figure how to split the $5, so he puts $2 in his pocket and gives the three men $1 each. So... if the three men each paid $9 that is (3*9=27) and the bellhop kept $2(27+2=29) where is the missing $1.00???
