work this one out!

Three men agree to share a cab from the airport into town.

When they arrive, the meter reads $25.

Each man gives the driver a $10 bill.

She hands them five $1 bills as change.

Each man takes one of the $1 bills.

They give the driver the remaining two $1 bills as a tip.

Each man has now spent nine dollars and the driver has two dollars for a total of $29.

Where is the other dollar?

This is like the oldest trick question around.

3 guys spend $9 each x 3 = $27.

Cab driver has $25 fare + $2 tip = $27.

It all adds up.

There's no missing dollar.
