The Extra Dollar paradox Two gentlemen seated in a motel offered two cups of coffee each at $8,after taking coffee they paid a total of $16,each contributing $8 to a waiter who took the money to the counter.on arrival at the counter the waiter was given $5 to take back to the two gentlemen explaining that the price of coffee had dropped. The waiter being dishonest hid $3 and took only $2 to the men, this makes the total contribution of each man $7.If in total the men paid $14 plus the $3 the waiter hid giving a total of $17, where did the extra dollar come from.
