(Sorry to use the "$" sign, I don't have a pound key, unless the "#" counts...)
They paid $10 each, 3x$10=$30
The room was $25. Technically, This means that the room was $8.33 (to infinity). So, by the above logic, they scammed the hotel by a penny or they shafted the third guy for the room.
They got back $5. This does not change the fact they paid $10 each in the first place. They're still out $30 spent from before, regardless of change given. So now they have $5 change.
They split the $5 change, $1 each and $2 to the receptionist. All phisical bills accounted for, $25 for the room, $5 change, $30 money spent total.
Numbers don't lie, but skewed results do. Math can not be applied retroactively.

The logic doesn't work.Originally posted by jamie b (campaign)
So if they each put in a tenner, and got a pound back, they each payed £9
3 X £9 = £27, + £2 (tip) = £29
wheres the missing pound?
