Return of the Opinion Exchange Riddle Challenge!

Okay people, here's the rules:

If you signed up, your in here and there's no backing out if you think you can't figure out the riddle. We're also on an honor system, please do not cheat by looking the answer up. ALL ANSWERS MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA PM. If anyone answers the riddle in this thread they will have to op every one of my videos, including the ones that horribly suck. If you get the answer correct, I will op three of your videos. If you get the answer wrong, don't answer at all, or PM me saying you don't know the answer, you will owe me three opinions on the three videos listed in my sig. Again, I know the internet is huge and every answer to everything is on it, but please do not cheat to win. This is a game that is meant for fun, not for cheating.

Anywho, here's the riddle:

Three men go to a cheap hotel. They are pretty much poor so they figure they'll all stay in the same room. The desk attendant says that it's gonna be $30 a night, so the men split it up, $10 for each of them to pay. They get to their room and begin to unpack. The manager of the hotel comes in and realizes that the desk attendant charged them too much, because the special was $25 a room, not $30. So the desk attendant gives $5 to the bellboy to give back to the men. The bellboy is a little greedy, though, and pockets $2 for a tip, so he can give $3 back to the men, $1 each. So each of the men only paid $9. $9 X 3 = $27, plus the $2 the bellboy took = $29. What happened to the last dollar?

Hint: There really was $30 dollars in the beginning, and there really is $30 at the end.

There is a specific answer I'm looking for, and this is a very "outside the box" answer I'm looking for. This riddle kept me going for nearly a week before I got it, so good luck with it. Remember, all answers must be submitted in a PM.

You have four (4) days. At 6 PM (EST) on Thursday I will not take anymore answers. You may only answer once. You *may not* ask for hints, seeing as I already gave a big one here in the post.

Have fun guys and good luck! Thanks for playing!

Okay guys, here's a hint for you:

$9 x 3 is $27, plus the $2 the bellboy took is $29.
Is this sentence correct or flawed?

Woot! I can’t believe I got it right. Okay, if you would op these three, please. I know the first one is one I made last December, but I’d like an op as to where it could have been improved so I’ll do better next time.

Santa's Coming, Better Run

The other two are:

I Hope They Always Dance

To Love a Tengu

Oh, they are .mov's (Quicktime), by the way. Hope that won't be a problem.

noni-mus you still need to give me a condensed answer.

There are three hours left and here's the results so far: BunofGovt and sasuke got it right and kitsuner got it wrong.
I'll be oping the videos after the challenge is officially over, which is at 6 PM today, EST.

Okay? Good. ^_^

Okay, noni-mus, sasuke, and BunofGovt all got the correct answer. Their videos will be oped as soon as possible. Kitsuner, you will need to op the three videos in my signature, one per video.

Thanks everyone for playing!

Look forward to another riddle challenge soon!

sasuke and noni-mus, y'all's ops are up. BunofGovt, I can't play your video files because their gay .mov. Why make your videos .mov? avi and mpeg are so much better. I'll try to make my compy able to play .mov files (i run a linux windows hybrid, so quicktime is out of the question) and I'll get your ops up ASAP. Worst comes to worst I'll watch the vids on another compy and op them there.
Kitsuner, you owe me some ops, so get busy.
