Three students enter store to buy a stereo with only £30 between them. They see an item they like and pay the assistant £10 each for the stereo and happily walk out of the shop.
Once they have left the shop, The manager advises the assistant that he has made a mistake and that the stereo was on special and should only have been £25. He orders the assistant to return £5 in change to the students.
The assistant runs out of the shop but realises he can't split £5, so he pockets £2, knowing that he can split the remaining £3 to the three students.
He catches up with the students, hands over the £3 and so in effect the students have each only paid £9 each which equates a total of £27, add the £2 that the assistant has pocketed and you have £29!!!!!,
Where's the other pound gone????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
