Three men agree to buy something for �30, so each pays �10 and they leave with their purchase. The manager remembers the price is reduced to �25, so he sends his junior out after the men with 5 �1 coins to return to them. The lad realises that �5 can't be split equally between 3, so he pockets �2 and gives the men the other �3.
So:- Each man has paid �10 and got �1 back, so each has paid �9. Three 9s are 27, plus 2 in the lad's pocket makes 29. What happened to the last pound?
Is that it?
