subtract instead of adding the £2 tip since its part of the £27

25 for the bill
2 for the tip
3 in each guys pocket

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.

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

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!!!
