Here's a brain teaser for you all. Let's assume you went out to dinner with two of your friends. The total bill was $25. The three of you pitch in $10 for a total of $30. The waiter/waitress returns with change...five $1 bills. Each of you take back $1, leaving $2 for the waiter/waitress as a tip. Here's the brain teaser part... You each take back $1 which means you each pitched in $9 (10 - 1 = 9). 9 X 3 = 27. 27 + 2 (tip) = 29. That's $29 out of $30 total. What happened to the remaining $1? Enjoy!
