Here's the puzzle:

"Three guests check into a hotel room.
The front desk officer says the bill is
N30,000, so each guest pays N10,000.
Later the front desk officer realizes the
bill should only be N25,000. To fix this, he gives the attendant N5,000
to return to the guests. On the way to the
room, the attendant realizes that he
cannot divide the money equally. Since
the guests didn't know the total of the
revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest N1,000 and keep N2,000
as a tip for himself. Each guest got N1,000 back: so now each
guest only paid N9,000; bringing the total
paid to N27,000. The attendant has
N2,000. And N27,000 + N2,000 = N29,000
so, if the guests originally handed over
N30,000, what happened to the remaining N1,000?"

Is that the answer, Mr arm chair critic?

actually what they paid individually was #9333.33 i.e 1/3 of 25k and the extra 1k. what the attendant took from each was #666.66 making the total 10k. So the extra 1k was hidden partly in the 25k and the 2k held by the attendant.
