Three men go for a meal in a restaurant. At the end of the meal the waiter brings them the bill and it comes to £30. Each man puts in a ten pound note. The waiter rings it up and then realizes he made a mistake and the bill was actually for £25. The waiter brings back five pound coins. As five doesn’t divide into three very well, the men take one pound each and leave two pounds as a tip which the waiter pockets. Each man has now paid 9 pounds, which adds up to £27. The waiter has 2 pounds in his pocket. That adds up to £29. What happened to the extra pound from the original £30? Try as hard as you like to make the formula for that work and there will always be one pound missing.
Was it Ridsdale and his mates? Bill £25</p> Waiter £2</p> --------</p> Paid £27 (£9 x 3)</p>
