When you are sitting in your campers enjoying the weather coming down outside try this puzzle.
Three men go into a restaurant and order a meal. When the waiter comes for the bill it comes to £30, so each man pays £10.
When the waiter takes the money to the owner he tells the waiter that he should only have charged the men £25 and gives him £5 to give back to the men.
On the way back the waiter realizes that it will be hard for the men to split the £5 three ways, so he gives them £3 and pockets £2.
If each man gets £1 back, that means that they only paid £9 each, a total of £27.
The waiter kept £2 so that makes a total of £29
The question is this.
What happened to the other £1
