3 old women pay £30 for a TV and all pay equal amounts of £10
the shop keeper realises its discounted to £25 and tells the assistant to run out and give them a 5er change.
the assistant thinks to himself that he can pocket a few quid are old and wont notice. so he gives the old women £3 which they share equally between them.
this means they paid £9 each
£9 x 3 people=£27
£27 + £2 the shopper took =£29
wheres the last £1 gone?

the shopkeeper takes 25, the assistant has 2 and the women have 3 back.
25+2+3=30.

The assistant swallows it to hide it, then retrieves it from the bottom of his bog the next day.

You basically made up the bit about the shopkeeper taking 29 pound.

30 quid for TV? Sounds like a right bargain!  |
