You, your buddy and I go to a hotel due to we are tired and we have a long drive ahead of us the next day. The hotel manager said it's $30. for the room. So we each put in $10. and we go up to our room. The hotel manager realizes that he over charged us $5.. So he sends his bell hop to our room with the $5.

Meanwhile when the bell hop is on hia way, he decides to pocket an early $2. tip. When the bell hop arrives to the room, you answer the door. The bell hop simply explains that the hotel manager over charged us $3. So he gives you the $3.. You give a dollar to me, to your buddy and you keep a dollar. Now we each paid $9.
Now.............
3 x $9 = $27
plus $2. that the bell hop took. = $29. right?

Where did the other dollar go?

WELL THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG HERE BECAUSE 3 X 10 = 30 LESS 5 IS 25 WHICH LEADS US TO BELIEVE THAT THE BOYS PAID 8.333 PLUS THE 1 DOLLAR THEY GOT BACK WOULD BE 3 X 9.333 WOULD BE 28.00.PLUS THE TWO BUCKS THE BELL HOP POCKETED=30.00--------------MAYBE THAT'S WHY YOU CAN'T MAKE ANY MONEY IN THE MARKET
