3 people go to a hotel, and pay £30 for a room. They split the bill equally, so each pays £10. An hour later, the manager goes to their room, and says that there is a discount on that room tonight because of a faulty lightbulb. They only have to pay £25. Each of the customers take £1 back, and they let the manager keep the other £2.

Now, they paid £9 each, and 9x3=27. The manager got £2, so that makes £29. Where's the other pound gone?

the £2 the manager got is part of the £27 because they only paid £25 altogether for the room, therefore there is £3 remaining, and they all had £1 each

Damn you >.<

[Edit] to put it in another perpesctive:

Originally they had paid £30 for a bill of £30. Now they've paid £27 for a bill of £25, so the manager pocketed the remaining £2. The remaining £3 (not £1, as the £2 should be subtracted from their payment not added) is shared between the customers as they've taken £1 refund each.

So original situation:
HOTEL: £30

New situation:
HOTEL: £25
Manager: £2
Customers: £3

So their payment of £27 includes the manager's slice, and there's £3 "missing" in their wallets.

In correct way of counting

one of them has it since 8*3=24
But they got 25 pounds meaning one of the three has it
