After they go to their room the manager realises he's over charged them as the room should only have cost €25.
He sends the bellboy up to their room with their change of €5. He dosent know how to split it so decides to give each man €1 back & keep €2 for himself.
So each man has now paid €9(9x3=27), the bellboy has €2...........what happened the final €1?
Can someone explain this one - I still don't get it

You can't add the 2 euros to the 27 euros paid, as the 27 euros already includes the 2 euros.The riddle is misguiding you and leading you to believe there is a missing euro. If anything, you are left with 32 euros because each man has a euro in his pocket. Comprende?

dont focus on the 1 euro dundalk
bellboy has 2
men have paid 10, now 9
each recieved 1 back which is 3. add that to the 25 (real price of room) which makes 28. that leaves 2 which the bellboy has

One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

Salt me and I disappear
Yuk! Just keep me out of your beer
Women love me
