The bill was $75/-Each one contributed $25/-.The waiter took the bill to the cashier.The cashier decided to give them a discount of $5/- &asked the waiter to return them $5/-.Now the waiter got confused about how to distribute $5among 3 people?He kept $2 for himself & gave $1 to each one of the 3friends.So initially each one had contributed $25. Now as theyare given $1 back, their contribution reduces to $24.They all contributed $24 -- that is 24x3=72.+ 2 dollars are in the waiters pocket.The total becomes 74. But they had paid $ 75.Where is the remaining 1 dollar?</blockquote>
