I came across a brain flexer today.
Goes like this.
A, B & C went for dinner together and decided to go dutch.
The bill came and it was $25.
So each came out with $10 and paid the bill.
($10 x 3pax = $30).
The waiter came back with 5 x $1 as the change. ($30 - $25 = $5).
A,B & C each took back $1 and gave the waiter the $2 left for his superb service.
Therefore, A, B & C each gave $10 at first, but took back $1.
Thus $10 - $1 = $9.
A, B & C thus paid $9 each.
$9 x 3pax +$2(tip) = $29/-
Where is the missing dollar?
Amazing?

Yes, i have the answer!

D meal cost 25? so its 8.3 each. Plus one dollar return so its 9.3 each. Total 28. 2 tips?
actually if u add $25 + $2 = $27
$27 / 3 = $9.
but if so, everyone would have to decide the tip before paying to be able to do a division by 3.
i thought of that too.
but if u try to replay the act.
it's really not as such.
