Three people go into a restaurant and they decide to share the cost which comes to £10. Somehow during the transaction there is an unaccounted for £1. It is one of those conundrums that I have puzzled over in the past but can't recall the exact question.

Three students spend £30 (£10 each) on pizza. When the pizza boy returns to the restaurant, his boss points out they should only have paid £25 between them. He takes £5 back, but helps himself to £2 and gives the students back £1 each. The students have now paid £9 each making a total of £27. If the boy has kept £2, where did the extra pound go because £27 + £2 = £29

Thank you. That was the one I was thinking of.
They should only have paid £8.33 each. ie £25/3
