I'll try one last time. I enjoy brain teasers and mean no disrespect. This
is just for fun! :)

  $25 in the till / 3 =  $8.33 per person
+  $2 in bell hop's pocket / 3 = $0.67 per person
----------------------------------------------
= $27 Total expenditure / 3 = $9.00 per person

The people started with $10 each and ended up with $1 each, so they HAD to
have paid a total of $9 each.

If you still don't see the logic of the problem, I guess we will just have
to agree to disagree. But this has been a fun discourse. :)
