Desperate need to find solution to riddle
There are 3 guys who go to a restaurant. Their bill comes to R25. They each give R10. The waitress brings back R5 change. They give her a tip of R2 and therefore split the remaining R3. Therefore they have each paid R9. R9 x 3 = R27 plus R2 tip = R29. where is the missing R1??

This is a trick question, the question is misleading you. They actually paid 25 + 2 (tip) making 27, the other 3 is the money they split Old one but it's great for forcing you to question the wording
