3 men go into a shop to buy a tv
the tv costs £30 so each man pays.... £10.
so far so good, they walk out with a tv.
Just then the shop sales assistant realises the tv is on special offer and has £5 off!
So the assistant grabs 5 £1 coins from the till and runs off to catch the 3 men.
On the way out the assistant realises he (or she) can make a small proffit so he keeps £2.
Catching up with the men he explains the offer and gives each man £1 back....
SO, they each paid £10 they got £1 back so therefore they paid £9 each. OK?
Good
3 x £9 = £27
plus the £2 the sales assistant has in his pocket = £29!!!
Where has the missing pound gone???
I love these too and have used a few as storylines for some money mentalism routines I do.
