Each guy didn't pay $9 for each room. $25 / 3 is 8.3333 ... + 1, is
9.33333 .... multiply that by 3 then add $2. Comes out to $30 for me. Am I
missing the riddle here people? :) heh

Does anyone know the math the name of the math puzzler that goes like this:
3 guys go to a hotel, the manager says the room is $30. Each guy puts in $10
then go to sleep.
The next manager decides the room is really only $25, but decides to keep $2
for himself.
He then hands each guy back $1 each.
The Question is if each guy paid $9 for the room, and 3*9=27 +2(the manager
took) what happens to the other dollar, since 27+2=$29?
I only ask since I belive this is a math riddle and wanted to know the name.
