Math Problem
Three guys are sharing a hotel room at a conference. Each pays $10 for their share of the room ($30 total). Later the desk clerk realizes the room price was only $25 (I know, where are these guys staying?) and sends the bellhop to their room with the extra $5. Not knowing how to divide $5 amongst three people, the bellhop gives them each $1 and pockets the remaining $2. So if each guest paid $9 ($27 total) and the bellhop kept $2, that adds up to $29. But the guys originally paid $30.
$29 < $30
Where's the extra buck?
p.s. This isn't a math problem... but here's some ColdFusion code that might help you see where the problem does lie.
