Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above location. Please solve the cash puzzle to find the puzzle cache.

3 men go into a hotel. Each asks for a room.
The man behind the desk said there was only one room available, but the men could share it. The room is $30 so each man paid $10 and went to the room.

A short while later the man behind the desk realized that he should not have charged full price, and decides to discount the room to $25. He gives the bellboy $5 and instructs him to refund this amount to the 3 men.

On the way the dishonest bellboy decides that the men cannot split $5 evenly, so he puts $2 into his pocket, and returns a dollar bill to each of the three guests.

This meant that the 3 men each paid $9 for the room, which is a total of $27. The bellboy put $2 in his pocket, which makes only $29. Where is the other dollar? (They had paid $30 originally)
