Don’t mind me bringing this one up, but it’s been bugging me 😃 > [@Ilyas Premier](#): > > Riddle me this, Batman! > > Three guys check into a hotel. the clerk says it’s $10 each for a room. They each give him $10 and he shows them to their rooms. > > Later, he realizes that there was a special - three rooms for $25. So he takes 5 one dollar bills and goes up to the rooms.

@hsadan: of course it is 🙂 the clerk kept 2 dollars. 27+2=29 would mean something like he paid 2$ from his own money it has to be 27-2=25 ---
