Here is no missing £, everybody says 27£ + 2£ from the tip to the guy sums 29£, thats wrong, when u say 27£ the tip is already included (25£ + 2£ = 27£ right? ) so theres only 3£ left right? 3/3= 1, 1£ for each one. No missing £

@rrojas260, no, what people are saying is 3*9 = £27 as there are 3 guys paying £9 each so that is £27. Then the assistant has has £2 so that makes £29, which means that one pound is missing.

but like posted, shop keeper has £25, guys £3, assistant £2 total of £30.

Well that was explained better than I ever could. It IS just a play on words. It still manages to confound some people though which always tickles me. :-D
