A riddle for you guys.
shardian:
I missed the majority of the debate as I went out to lunch, but the guys that were in the lunch room debated it the whole hour. Even to the point that they tore up some paper to act out the riddle. If you act it out though exactly as the riddle is spoken, it makes a very compelling case that something is weird about it. Hell, I confused myself even trying to explain the answer to the other guys.

shouldn't the room cost $25 for the initial math to even make sense?

It does cost $25.
boykster:
written that way for misdirection then.....
the solution of 3 x $9 + $2 is deceptive, the actual solution should be 3 x $9 + $3 (their change) as the $2 is included in the 3 x $9 figure
shardian:
I did the math for a few of the guys up here and they are still cornfused about it. They keep getting stuck on the "27+2" = 29 part of the riddle.
