A little puzzle for you:
Three men buy a $30.00 item together, each paying $10.00
The seller realizes after they are gone that he should have only charged $25.00
But he doesn’t know how to split $5.00 3 ways. So he pockets $2.00 and gives
each man $1.00 back.
So each man paid $9.00
$9.00 X 3 = 27
27 + 3 = 30
BUT
the seller only pocketed $2.00
Where is the extra dollar?
