just curious
There was this math related question about three guys who go to a momo shop and pay Rs 30......... then some how they are Rs 1 short. Does anyone know how it goes??

i know the same question with 75, i guess it works for 30 as well, but the question is:

3 men go to a restaurant and the total bill is $75. All three decide to pitch in 25 each to pay the bill. As there is a special that day, the manager gives them a $5 discount, thus $5 is returned to them from the 75. The three men decide to put 2 of the 5 dollars that was returned, as a tip and they split the remaining $3 among themselves, so that each got $1 back. As the men had paid $25 earlier, and now got a dollar back, they effectively paid $24. But, then, 24x3=72, plus the $2 tip = $74. But they had paid $75 earlier, where did the $1 go ?

which 1$? They paid together 24 * 3 = 72 $ plus 2 $ tips. Total 74$. Which 1$ are you talking about? Don't bring in the previous $75 since it is not effective anymore once the manager gave $5 discount.
