Three travelers stop at a motel and ask for a room. Manager says the room is $30 and they each pull out a $10 bill. Later, the manager comes to them with five $1 bills, and reporting he erred by charging them the weekday rate on a weekend when rooms are actually just $25. The travelers notice the five $1 bills cannot be evenly distributed among them, so they take each take $1, and the remaining $2 becomes a tip for the manager. At this moment, each traveler has paid a net amount of $9.

Three times nine is 27. Add the manager's tip and you have $29. Where did the remaining dollar go?
