They never told him where the crime scene was.


25/3 = 8.33333 so they actually paid 9.333333 dollars each

Good job. Actually another way to solve it is to subtract implying that you should mutiply throws people off. Obviously 5 dollars took away from 30 is 25, they got three dollars back, the bellhop got two, so looking at it like that there really is no missing dollar. Anyway this is a common question actually, its known as the missing dollar riddle.

I actually answered improperly anyway and updated my answer haha.
"Basically, you're counting improperly in that question. At the end of the day, $27 was paid, which is 9x3. The other $3 is in their pockets. All that happened is $25 went to the room, and $2 went to the bellhop."

There were two scales. On one there was 20 pounds of bricks, on the other was 20 pounds of feathers. Which scale had more weight on it?

Neither, because 20 pounds of feathers still weighs 20 pounds.

Well you got it right. Usually people say,“the bricks”
