Where did the money go?
Right, i was asked this question bout 30min ago and it's really annoying me cause i don't have the answer. The question goes like this...
-3 men goto a hotel.
-They are charged ?30 for 1 room, they split the cost thus ?10 each.
-The manager decides it is too much so reduces to ?25 for the room. He gives ?5 to the bell boy to return to the 3 men.
-The bell boy decides to pocket ?2 and only gives ?3 to the 3 men.
-so each man gets ?1 back and in effect have only paid ?9 each.
-9x3=?27 add on the ?2 from the bell boy = ?29
Where is the remaining ?1?

There is no missing pound. You don't add on the ?2 to the ?27, but subtract it instead, giving the ?25 that was actually charged.
It's like saying this:
I give you ?10. You give me ?7 back. Overall, I have given you ?3. So I paid you ?3 and you have ?3 now. That is ?6 in total. So, where is the other ?4 from the ?10?
There is no "missing" ?4. The total amount of money is still the same (my ?7 + your ?3). Similarly, in the original question, the total amount of money is still ?30 (?25 for the rooms + ?2 for the bellboy + ?1 refund + ?1 refund + ? refund).

Jack was about to marry Jill and his father took him to one side.
When I married your mother, the first thing I did when we got home was
take off my trousers," he said. "I gave them to your mother and told her
to put them on.
When she did, they were enormous on her and she said to me that she
couldn't possibly wear them, as they were too large.
I told her, "of course they're too big. I wear the trousers in this family
and I always will." Ever since that day, we have never had a single
problem."
Jack took his father's advice and as soon as he got Jill alone after the
wedding, he did the same thing; took off his trousers, gave them to Jill
and told her to put them on.
Jill said that the trousers were too big and she couldn't possibly wear
them. "Exactly," replied Jack. "I wear the trousers in this
relationship and always will. I don't want you to forget that".
Jill paused and removed her knickers and gave them to Jack. "Try
these on," she said, so he tried them on but they were too small.
I can't possibly get into your knickers," said Jack.
Exactly," replied Jill. "And if you don't change your *******
attitude, you never will"

God was just about done creating a man but He had two things left over in his bag and He couldn't quiet decide how to split them
between Adam and Eve. He thought He might just as well ask them.
He told them one of the things He had was a thing that would allow the owner to pee while standing up. "It's a very handy thing",
God told them, "and I was wondering if either of you had a preference for it".
Well, Adam jumped up and down and begged, "Oh, please give that to me! I'd love to be able to do that! It seems like the sort of
thing a man should have. Please! Pleeeeease! Give it to me!"
On and on he went like an excited little boy. Eve just smiled and told God that if Adam really wanted it so badly, he could have it.
So God gave Adam the thing that allowed him to pee standing up. Adam was so excited he just started whizzing all over the place -
first on the side of the rock, then he wrote his name in the sand and then he tried to see if he could hit a stump ten feet away -
laughing with delight all the while.
God and Eve watched him with amusement and then God said to Eve, "Well, I guess you're kind of stuck with the last thing I have left."
"What's it called?" asked Eve.
"Brains", said God.
