*** EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION ****
A riddle! Three travelers arrive at a student hostel & are told that a three-person room costs $30.00 a night. They each pay their ten bucks & go to their room. After they've left, the cashier realizes he's overcharged them - the room only cost $25.00 a night. He walks back to their room to return the extra $5.00, but can't figure out how to split a fiver evenly three ways. So he keeps $2.00 for himself, & gives $1.00 back to each of the travelers.

So, each traveler paid $9.00. Nine times three is $27.00, plus the $2.00 the cashier took equals $29.00. What happened to the last dollar?
