My dear, look at the date…. it was 2004… GMAIL WAS RARE THAT TIME. Not everyone have gmail invites. Not everyone have gmail as their mail. Some even sell gmail at ebay. You can imagine how rare and valueble gmail was. That’s why I am doing this “Tricky Question” thing. It’s not like I am a teacher.

Now, everyone have gmail. For malaysian and some other selected countries, gmail can be registered via SMS. Maybe you want an invite? I have 100 invites in my account…

lets use this equations :

what men paid = what hotel received

30+30+30=90

30+30+30-5=90-5

(here is where the worker kept the money!)
30+30+25+2=85+2

30+30+27=85+2

87=87 !

what you do to one side has to be done likewise to the other side, so if you subtract 5 dollars from the 90 the manager received, you must also subtract 5 dollars from the 90 dollars the three guys paid. Then, you must add the 2 dollars tip the worker kept to both sides. There are not three parties involved in the end. The tip is considered wages on the part of the hotel. It’s a simple accounting equation if you think about it, or algebra even. Equations have to be kept equal at all times.

In other words, you try to make everything add up to 90, when in reality, 90 was no longer the sum after the manager refunded the 5 dollars. The sum should have been 85, but the bellboy took it upon himself to keep 2 dollars as a tip, so that makes the sum 87.
So the answer to the question is: there’s no missing dollar ?
