Actually, each guy paid 8.33333


The waiter took the penny.

The last line should be $27 - $2, not $27 + $2.

Who's there?

Three friends were in a restaurant.
After they had lunch, the total bill came to $25.
Each one of them put a $10 bill.
The waiter didn't know how to devide $5 between them, so he took $2 to himself and gave each $1 back.
So each one eventually paid $9.
But wait!

$9 X 3 = $27
and the waiter too $2.
$27 + $2 = $29.

Where did the last $1 disappear?

$9 X 3 = $27 True. Each paid $9
and the waiter too $2. Hold on there buddy. You already added the two dollars from the waiter in the line above. That's how you arrived at the $27 total: $25 meal plus $2 swiped by the dumb waiter. So don't be tryin' to trick me.
$27 + $2 = $29. No, $27 (for food and waiter's tip) + the $3 given to the friends = the original $30. There is no missing money.

Where did the last $1 disappear?
