    So, there are three friends at a restaurant for dinner; when they are finished they have to pay a 30 euros bill. Each one of them pays 10 euros. The waiter comes back with a 5 euros discount. Each one of them recovers 1 euro, and they give the remaining 2 euros to the waiter as a tip. So at the end each one of them has spent 9 euros, and 9 x 3 = 27, and 27+2 = 29. Where's the missing euro?

    £30 split between three is £10 each.
    £25 split between three is £8.33333~
    8.3333~ X 3 + £5 = £10 X 3
    Thus the euro remains.

    I got a riddle for some 1 who would like to try it.

    a guy is in a box surrounded on all sides. nothing is in the box except a table and a mirror. How does he get out.

    the Answer is. He looks in a mirror and sees what he saw. he uses hat saw to cut the table in half. 2 halfs make a hole. he uses that hole to get out :D

    I do not think they like to be tipped in Europe.
