Three friends check into a hotel.

The room costs $30, so each person pays $10.

Later, the hotel manager realizes the room should have cost only $25. He gives the bellboy $5 to return to the three friends.

On the way, the bellboy realizes $5 can't be divided equally among three people, so he keeps $2 for himself and gives each friend $1 back.

Now, each friend has paid $9, meaning the three friends paid a total of $27.

The bellboy kept $2.

$27 + $2 = $29.

🤔 Where did the missing $1 go?

I built Mapzino.com, a geography quiz where you don't get a map to click on, only compass arrows. Arrows point from the mystery place toward other countries, cities or landmarks, and you have to work out what's in the middle, so knowing your neighbours and your continents really matters. It's free, works on phones, and has 194 countries, 500 cities (capitals plus the biggest cities), 165 world landmarks and the 50 US states, with easier and harder lists for each. There's also a history game where you guess a famous person from the places and dates of their birth and death shown on a world map, with 240 people and lists like scientists, explorers or women in history. Points drop the longer you take, and you can spend points on hints if you're stuck. If you find a place that is off on the map or an arrow that points the wrong way, please tell me: mapzino.com
