Missing dollar riddle
The missing dollar riddle is a famous riddle that involves an informal fallacy.
It dates back to at least the 1930s, although similar puzzles are much older.
Although the wording and specifics can alter, the puzzle runs along these lines:
Three guests check into a hotel room.
The manager says the bill is$ 30, so each guest pays$ 10.
Later the manager realizes the bill should only have been$ 25.
To rectify this, he gives the bellhop$ 5 as five one- dollar bills to return to the guests.
On the way to the guests' room to refund the money, the bellhop realizes that he can not equally divide the five one- dollar bills among the three guests.
As the guests are n't aware of the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest$ 1 back and keep$ 2 as a tip for himself, and proceeds to do so.
As each guest got$ 1 back, each guest only paid$ 9, bringing the total paid to$ 27.
The bellhop kept$ 2, which when added to the$ 27, comes to$ 29.
So if the guests originally handed over$ 30, what happened to the remaining$ 1?
There seems to be a discrepancy, as there can not be two answers($ 29 and$ 30) to the math problem.
On the one hand it is true that the$ 25 in the register, the$ 3 returned to the guests, and the$ 2 kept by the bellhop add up to$ 30, but on the other hand, the$ 27 paid by the guests and the$ 2 kept by the bellhop add up to only$ 29.

Egyptian Communist Party (1921)
The Egyptian Socialist Party was a political party in Egypt.
The party was founded in 1921.
A party conference held in July 1922 declared the Alexandria branch of the party as the party headquarters.
On October 1920 the party declared itself as the true representative of the Egyptian working class.
Towards the end of the year the party counted with around 1,500 members( 400 in Alexandria).
The party sent Hosni al- Arabi to Moscow, to negotiate a possible entry of the party to the Communist International.
Al- Arabi returned to Egypt towards the end of 1921, with the instructions that the party would adhered to the twenty- one conditions of the Communist International.
A majority of the party Central Committee( led by al- Arabi) approved the conditions in December 1922, and the name of the party was changed to Egyptian Communist Party.
The party treasurer Rosenthal, who had opposed some of the conditions, was expelled and substituted by Ahmed al- Madani.
Independent Socialist Labour Party
The Independent Socialist Labour Party was a political party in Poland.
The party was founded on March 12, 1922, in Krakow.
Initially the party bore the name Party of Independent Socialists(" Partia Niezależnych Socjalistów").
Bolesław Drobner was the chairman of the party.
The party became affiliated with the Vienna International.
The party demanded nationalizations of key industries, equality for national minorities and development of bilateral links with the Soviet Union.
In the summer of 1922, the" Fareynikte" merged into party.
At the time of the merger, the" Fareynikte" had conditioned their entry into the party demanding that separate national minority sections( for Jews, Germans, Ukrainians, etc..) to be formed within the party.
That re-organization never materialized, though.
From 1923 onwards, the party was affiliated with the Labour and Socialist International( into which the Vienna International had merged).
On September 21, 1924, a Polish Socialist Party- splinter group, the Socialist League Praca, merged into the party.
As of 1925 the party had around 2,500 members.
" Głos Niezależnych Socjalistów" was the central organ of the party.
During the period 1924- 1926 the party was involved in confrontations with the Polish Socialist Party over influence inside the trade union movement.
In mid-1925 the party founded the Association of Free Trade Unions of Poland( ZWZZP).
ZWZZP was soon taken over by communists.
By 1927 the party was in crisis.
The question on cooperation with the communists divided the party.
The party was split in two, one group led by Drobner and another led by Joseph Kruk.
Drobner's group merged into the Polish Socialist Party in 1928, whilst Kruk's group continued to function as a party of its own.
The party obtained 0.2% of the national vote in the 1928 Sejm election.
The party withdrew from the Labour and Socialist International in 1933.
The party joined the London Bureau.
During the 1930s the party worked in a united front together with the communists.
The party was banned in 1937.
At this point, Kruk and his Warsaw- based group merged into the Poalei Zion Right.
