Three men on a hunting trip made plans to rent a cabin in Lumpkin county.
They stopped at the owner's home and were told by the owner's son that
the cabin rental was $30.
The hunters paid $10 each and were on their way.
Later, the cabin owner came home and was made aware of the transaction.
He informed his son that the rental was $25 not $30.
The son was given the $5 over payment to take to the hunters in the cabin.
Along the way, the young man couldn't figure out how to divide $5 evenly
among the three hunters- so he decided to give the hunters $1 each and
kept $2 for himself.
Originally, the hunters paid $10 apiece. A one dollar reimbursement means that each
of the hunters paid $9. Nine times three equals 27. The owners son kept $2.
(Twenty-seven plus two equals 29.)
Where did the other dollar go ? ? ? ?
