This is one of my favorite enigmas:

Three guys walk into a hotel. They pay ten dollars apiece for their room, which costs thirty dollars a night. After the three guys get to their room, the manager realizes that he over charged them five dollars, so he sends the bellhop up with the extra five dollars to repay them. On his way, the bellhop decides that he will give a dollar to each of the men and keep two dollars as a tip because he can't figure out how to divide five dollars between the three guys.

Here's the real problem: Since each guy got one dollar back, each only paid nine dollars apiece for the room or twenty-seven dollars altogether. When you add the two dollars the bellhop kept, you get twenty-nine dollars. Where'd the last dollar go?
