3 chaps stay in a hotel, and settle up with the bell-boy at £10 each.
The bill was £25, and the bell-boy couldn't be bothered working out the change, so he gives them each £1 change, pocketing the remaining £2.
So the guests paid £9 each and the bell-boy has £2, total £29
So where is the missing £1?
This is a nice one.

Each guest paid £9 because they gave £30 and they were given back £3. The manager got £25 and the difference ( £2) has the bellboy. So it is nonsense to add the £2 to the £27, since the bellboy kept the £2.
