Three flatmates. . . . . .
Three flatmates are walking along the road and see a TV in a second-hand shop for $30. The decide to buy it for their flat and pay $10 each.
5 minutes after they have left the shop the manager of the shop says to the shop assistant "that TV should only have been $25! not $30 . . run after them and give them this $5 back".
The shop assistant runs after the 3 flatmates. He cant split the $5 into three so he decides to give the three flatmates $1 each and keep $2 in his pocket.
Having originally paid $10 each, the three flatmates have received $1 back and so therefore have each paid $9. Now 3 x 9 = $27 . . . . . . . . . . plus the $2 which the shop assistant has kept in his pocket = $29!!!!!!!!
What a mystery!
