^^^just want to point out that i didn't say they paid 9.33 for the room. I said each paid 8.33 for the room and they each have $1 in their pockets. so the equation once again is:

8.33 x 3 = $25
1.00 x 3 = $3
2.00 x 1 = $2
-----
= $30

The riddle is based on the false statement: They each paid $9.00. When in fact they each paid 8.33 dollars, kept a dollar each from the change, and paid .66 cents each to the bellboy from the change.

another 30 seconds wasted....
