Why doesn't this work?! Surely a glitch in the Matrix...
Three men eat at a restaurant. The bill comes to £25. They each pay £10. When the waiter brings the £5 change they take back £1 each and leave a £2 tip. So each man has paid £9, which totals £27. The waiter has the £2 tip, which makes £29, so where's the other £1 gone?
Messing with my head!!!

because each person only needed to pay £8.33, not £9

Jimbo...
Each man owes £8.33p (8.33 x 3 = 24.99) so there will be one penny short.
Each overpays by £1.67 (by paying in ten pounds each)
Each person takes back £1 from the change leaving 3x67p in the kitty. 3x67p= £2.01
The waiter gets a £2 tip, so there's a penny left over.

Sky poo is right
3*10-5+1+1+1+2 = 30
3*9+2 = 29

25 for the bill
2 for the tip
3 in each guys pocket is right.You must have mis counted or your buddy is scamming you.

Jimbo, Don't worry about it. The liklihood of you being in a party of three, each of whome has a ten pound note, and eating a meal that cost exactly £25 is almost so remote it tickles impossibility in the ribs.
Furthermore if it did happen just tell them to keep the change and the fabric of the universe will remain intact, which is not too bad for a £5 tip.
