Three men in a hotel room call room service and order two large pizzas. The delivery boy brings them and hands them a bill for £30. Each man gives £10 and the boy leaves.
When the delivery boy hands the £30 to the cashier, he is told that a mistake has been made. The bill should only have been £25. The cashier gives the delivery boy five £1 coins and tells him to take it to the three men.
On his way back, the boy has a thought. These men did not give him a tip, and figures that, since there is no way to split £5 evenly three ways, he will keep £2 for himself and give the men £3.
He knocks on the door and when one of the men answers, the boy explains about the mix up and hands the £3 over.
Now for the fun part.
£30 - £25 = £5. Correct? £5 - £3 = £2. Correct?
So, what's the problem?
Well...
Each of the men originally gave £10 each.
They each got back £1 in change.
That means they paid £9 each, which times three is £27.
The delivery boy kept £2 for a tip.
£27 + £2 = £29.
Where's the other pound?
I'm buggered if I know, Can anyone supply the answer?
