three men have �10 each they decide to buy a tv, they all put there money together and pay �30 for the item. the shopkeeper then realises the tv only cost �25 rather than giving them �5 back he gives them �3 (easier for them to share) and puts �2 in his pocket. so if all the men have a pound back they paid �9 each 3 x �9 = �27 plus �2 the shopkeeper has. wheres the other pound gone?????

Not this old chestnut AGAIN?!
The �27 spent already includes the �2 that the shopkeeper pockets, aswell as the �25 for the TV, so you can't it add it again to make �29! The other �3 is back with the three men.
This has been doing the rounds on the internet since 1903, for gawds sake put it out of it's misery
