The missing £1

Its simple trickery , there is no missing pound.

Dead easy to solve with my 130iq.

Everyone is stuck on the idea that because they gave £30 and got a pound each back they have therefore paid £27 ie £9 each.
Indeed this is absolutely correct. The problem comes you forget to add what was stolen by the employee into the bill.

They paid £25 for the rooms and £2 unknown 'tax' to the employee (Total £27)
They paid with £30 and got £3 change.

There is no missing pound

simples.
 
Ok Caretech try this.

You lend me £20, but only give me £10.

So now I owe you £10 and you owe me £10 still........... so that makes us even.

Thanks :D
