man help: 3 men walk into a hotel and ask for a room for each of them. - Help.com

3 men walk into a hotel and ask for a room for each of them.

The receptionist tells them that they only have one room left for £30. With no other options the men decide to split it evenly and each chips in £10. After the men have gone up to their rooms the receptionist feels bad for charging them full price and gives the porter £5 to give back to the men. Unsure of how to split £5 3 ways the porter instead pockets £2 and gives each man back £1. So each man paid £9 for the room, so altogether (£9×3) they paid £27. With the £2 in the porter’s pocket that is £29. Where is the missing pound?
