i once spent over an hour trying to explain the missing dollar riddle to one of my cousins ex's

edit:since you got rid of it lol

  Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 as a tip for himself. Each guest got $1 back: so now each guest only paid $9; bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. And $27 + $2 = $29 so, if the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?   

there is no solution to this puzzle it is a known mathematical error example there is no missing dollar and there is no answer to the question

That is the solution.  That it is an error doesn't mean that there isn't a solution.
