I just came across this math problem:
3 people are playing cards, they get hungry and ask some random 4th guy to buy them food. Each of the 3 people give Ј10 pounds to the 4th guy (10 + 10 + 10 = Ј30). The 4th guy buys some food for Ј25 pound and is left with 5 pounds. He gives Ј1 to each of the 3 people and keeps the remaining Ј2 with himself. NOW, that means each of the 3 people gave Ј9, so ( 3 x 9 = Ј27 + the remaining Ј2 = Ј29), where is the other Ј1 gone?

I just keep thinking about it, and don't get it. lol
