There are 3 of us, Jan, Eddy and Ben
We have to pay 25 euros to Kjell.
We each give 10 euros, so that’s 30 euros.
So Kjell has 5 euros left. He thinks, “Ai, that’s not divisible by three I’ll give Jan, Eddy and Ben one euro each, and those two euros are for me.”
So in the end Jan, Ben and Eddy have paid 9 euros each and Kjell has 2 euros.
If we now count: 3 times 9 euros = 27 euros. Kjell has 2 euros. That adds up to 29 euros.
Where did the last euro go?
