the answer is the egg. prehistoric reptiles and amphibians were laying eggs long before birds arrived on the scene.

Three men go into a hotel, They go to the Counter and say "We would like on room for the three of us". The receptionist says "That will be $30". The men decide that they will each pay $10. After an hour the recepitionist realizes that the room is on sale for $25. She sends the bell boy up to give back the $5. The men dont know how to split it so they each take $1 and give $2 to the bell boy.

As math proves each man has now paid $9, and the bell boy received $2. $9 multiplied by the 3 men = 27 plus the $2 tip to the bell boy makes it $29

What happened to the extra $1 ? **

what about the dollar in each of their pockets? each man paid 9$ which is 27 and they each have a dollar in their pocket which makes 30$ The $2 the bellboy has came out of the hotels share.

They each paid nine, thats 27, and they each have a dollar in hand, thats 3. That equals 30 no?
9 paid + 1 in hand =10.

wheeler has the right idea. its a trick question.

since the price of the hotel room changed to $25 the equation turns into $9 x 3 - $2 = $25. while $9 x 3 + $2 does equal $29, that equation doesn't fit the problem implicitly stated. the proper equation is ($10 x 3) - $3 - $2 = $25.

the solution is:
each men paid $9 x3 = $27 everything fine at this point.
The $27 is the total of how much the men paid.

The problem then says +$2 for the boy. Which is wrong. It should be +$3 for the money the men saved. Since the $2 for the boy is part of the amount paid by the men, so the $2 is part of the $27.
