OK, 3 guys are on holiday in England. Every evening they go to the same restaurant. On their last evening they booze it up a bit, and when the waiter brings the bill it's £30.
They consider this a bit steep. Each gives £10 to the waiter, but ask him to ask the manager for a reduction, as they'd been such good customers.
The waiter returns with £5 in £1 notes. They are so extatic about getting some money back, that they each take only £1, and give the other £2 to the waiter.

So let's tally up:

Each pays £10
Each gets back £1
So each has paid £9

3 X £9 is £27
Add the £2 they gave to the waiter:

£29

Where's the other pound?
