* 3 guys rented a hotel room that cost RM30 per night. So the 3 guys paid RM30 to the cashier.
* Which means, each of them coughed up RM10 to pay for it.
* However, the hotel was having some sort of promotion that night, and the room only cost RM25 per night.
* So the cashier handed over RM5 to a bellboy asking him to refund the 3 guys.
* Out of greed, the bellboy secretly pocket RM2 out of the RM5, and then returned RM3 to the 3 guys.
* Having returned RM3, each guy then took back RM1.
* So, in total, each guy paid RM9.
Here's the equation:
Each guy paid RM9.
RM9 x 3 = RM27
The bellboy pocket RM2.
RM27 + RM2 = RM29
So where did the remaining RM1 go?
