I'll try and explain this as best as possible, please digest and follow to the end you will be baffled trust me!!!!

Ok so we have three young students  looking to buy a poker chip set,  so they are able to hold home games at their shared flat.... They pop into the local town and locate a shop that sells allsorts....They very nicely ask the assistant " Do you sell poker chips " , Yes replied the assistant there right over there , excited with their find the boys then decide to divy up the cost £10 each for the £30 priced item...On leaving the shop the assistant very happy with his 1st sale tells his manager, who replies stoutly " £30 but they should have been priced at £25" with that the manager tells the assistant to pop £2 in his pocket and give the boys £1 back each... How much have the 3 boys now paid for the item????  and where has the £1 disappeared too???

Just a bit of fun

    £9 they paid each, £1 has disapeard something to do with maths i forget the answer

    3 x 10= £30

    9 x 3 = £27 + £2

    10 x 3=( 30 - £5) = £25

    £5 owed, £1 x 3 = so deduct £1 from each person
    £2 to shopkeeper

    maths is solid :p

    Yes think you hit nail on the head there.... It's how you say it I guess it's not the £30 that was paid but the £25... cheers

    It would have saved a lot of hassle if they'd just gone into The Bellagio with crash helmets and a sawn-off.

    I dont get it! £1 hasnt gone anywhere.

    They paid £9 * 3 = £27, £25 to shop, £2 to assistant
