3 blokes in a hotel order pizza. They each chip in 10 bucks and give it to the bell hop to collect from the delivery at the lobby.

When he collects the pizza ut turns out to only be 25 bucks so he asks for 5 x 1 dollar coins as change.

On the way back to the room with the pizza he realises 5 isnt going to be an easy split between the three blokes. And, they also havent given him a tip all weekend so he pockets 2 x $1 coins and hands each bloke 1 dollar as change.

So each bloke has paid $9 ( being $10 plus $1 change ) being $27 in total ( 3 x 9 = 27 ) and the bell hop has 2 x $1 in his pocket. Well 27 + 2 = $29...not $30.. so who has the lost dollar?
