Not really a joke but a question that I heard years ago and never could figure it out.
3 guys get a hotel room for a night. The room cost $30, so the 3 men decide to split it and pay $10 each. After paying, the 3 men head up to their room.
The manager informs the desk clerk that they have a deal going on, and the room is only $25 tonight. He gives the clerk $5 and tells him to return tye money to the 3 men.
On the way to their room, the clerk is thinking how he can divide the money up evenly, since he has $5 to split between 3 people. He decides he will keep $2, and give them $3 back, giving each person $1 back.
This means each of the 3 people has now paid $9 a piece, and the clerk has kept $2.
9 x 3 = 27
27 + 2 = 29
Where did the other $1 go?

It's just swapping in the amount paid with an irrelevant amount (part of the refund).
The real amount left in the cash drawer of the hotel is still $25, $3 of the refund went to the men and $2 went to the clerk = $30 all accounted for.

Correct.
But.
All math should add up, using any formula.
If each paid 10 and got a dollar back, they all paid 9. Clerk kept 2.
9 x 3
+2
Doesnt add up.

The 3 guys paid $27 for the room. Subtract the $2 in the clerks pocket, and the hotel got $25 for the room. The $2 is being miscounted. The math is bad.
They paid $25 for the room. The clerk got a $2 tip. They each kept $1. Adds up to $30.
EDIT: The $2 "tip" has already been figured in the $27 (they paid $25 to the hotel and $2 to the clerk). You can't add it again to the $27, or you would be double counting it.

^^^This. Most succinct, easy-to-understand explanation.
Oops, I did again.
