I hope I tell this one right.
Forgive me if you have heard this one before. 3 guys order a meal, which costs $10 each. So the waitress walks away with $30 to the till. When she gets there, the manager says she has overcharged the customers. The meal only comes to $25. So she walks back to the table with $5 in her hand. But, she only gives the customers $1 back to each of them, keeping $2 for herself. Which means the guys have paid $9 each. 3 guys paying $9 makes $27, plus the waitress has $2, makes $29. So where has the other $1 gone? |

The infamous discrepancy...
The meal $25 + waitress $2 = $27 the 3 guys paying. |

Daryl has actually made a nice effect out of it. If you can do the walking fingers count for bills you can do it. … Strongly recommended!

Another way of looking at it is:
Meal $25 + Guys $3 + waitress $2 = $30
