Can anyone figure this out?
It took me a while
I am good at math so I did all the work in my head and got the answer fast. It was eazy for me that was cool though I guess it could be hard in some way the first thought I had was the right answer.
yay aparently im brighter than 97% of the population, so why were my marks in highschool so low?
Same here.
easy
i looked at the answer and realized that i am in fact an idiot.
i just have problems looking at problems from more than one facet. Thinking outside the box per se
dam the answer site isent working for me 
but I still can’t work out how an extra dollar should be needed 
I knew right away that there was no dollar missing, I just took a few minutes to figure out how they word it to trick you into thinking there is
Well each man paied $8.333333333333333333333
i got it before he took the time to tell me there was a dollar missing.
i personally would’ve called the manager because a tip is supposed to be voluntary “TO INSURE PROMPT SERVICE” the bellhop ripped them off. theyre not missing one dollar. the bell hop stole 2 from you you idiots.
wow that was easy i got that question a couple years ago in math class
Finally worked it out, it’s the decption of the question rather than any compicated maths that makes it tricky.
Yeah they lie!
Each man paied $8.33333333333- not $9 
No that’s not it, each man pays $10 then recieves $1 back, so pays $9 dollars. The question forces you to draw a false conclusion, which is what makes it confusing.
Yes but he would also have been out the $2 he pocketed during the ensuing confusion.
And yes, i think the ‘no trick no catch’ line is a lie, the phrasing of the question is designed to trick you in to assuming something which is not true.
