Riddle 45 Is
A Window

The facts in this riddle are clear: There is an initial $30 charge. It should have been $25, so $5 must be returned and accounted for. $3 is given to the 3 friends, $2 is kept by the bellhop - there you have the $5. The trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most. Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay $9, not $10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid $27 for the night. But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only $25 and when you add the $3 returned with the $2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with $30.

-BlockBuster- wrote The $2 that the bellhop pocketed is the same $2 that makes the room cost $27 instead of $25. You can't count it twice. Then once you have the $27 (either the amount they paid or the actual room charge plus bellhop "tip") add the $3 that was returned. This gives you the $30.
