The Missing Dollar:
Three friends split a $30 hotel bill equally ($10 each). Later, the manager realizes it was only $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return. The bellboy keeps $2 and gives $1 back to each friend. Now, each paid $9 ($27 total) + $2 bellboy kept = $29. Where’s the missing dollar?

The short answer: There is no missing dollar! The confusion arises from misdirection in accounting. Let's break it down step by step.

💰 The Correct Accounting

1. Hotel's revenue: $25 (after overcharge correction).

2. Bellboy's kept amount: $2.

3. Friends' refund: $3 ($1 × 3).
   Total: $25 + $2 + $3 = $30 (fully accounted!).

Napoleon’s Mathematical Mistake:
In 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia with 600,000 troops. Only 40,000 returned. Why? His quartermaster used linear math for supplies, ignoring logistics decay:

"More troops = longer supply chains = more horses to feed = less food for soldiers."
This oversight sparked modern operational research!
