#1 Logical math problem

(3 votes)
Written by Daniel   
Three men go to a restaurant for dinner. They eat up and call for the bill. The waiter brings the bill and its 30 dollars. The three men pay 10 dollars each and end up with 30 dollars and give the money to the waiter.

The waiter goes to the front desk and realizes he made a mistake, and the bill was only 25 dollars. He then returns to

the table and tries to return the three men 5 dollars. But he can’t split 5 dollars to three people so he decides to

give them each 1 dollar, that’s 3 dollars, and he will keep the rest of 2.
So each man at the table initially paid 10 dollars, then got one dollar back and ended up paying 9 dollars each.
So now do the math:


That’s 3 people * 9 dollars = 27 dollars + 2 dollars from the waiter its 29 dollars.


So where’s one dollar?
