Take a break from your wedding planning..and see if you can figure this one out

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK
REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO HE 3 GUYS ROOM WITH $5.

ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF. THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

Re: Who can figure it out!!!

Lisa, yes, but after no one gets it for a little bit, not share it right away???

Here goes another:

I live above a star, I have 11 other friends, I do not shine. What am I

I waited the same amount of time as April2603 did on the previous puzzle, and she didn't get scolded.

I can't get this one yet...

Let me add a little something more to it. The rest of the riddle could say, my letters can be found in the alphabet

I am no wiz either, I hear these every day on my radio station
