3 ppl buy a tv 4, 30 quid, at a cost of 10 quid each. as they leave the shop the manager comes back and says 2 his staff i see u sold that tv. yes said one of them 4. 30 quid. he said it was on sale 4 25 quid. catch them up and give them 5 quid change. the sale's person ran after them putting 2 quid in his pocket and gave them 3 quid back. meaning thay spent 9quid each. so 3x9=27 2quid in his pocket =29. where is the other quid.

Or should he have given them the �5.00 and allowed them to sort it.????

The TV was �30, which the people originally paid.

Having realised the TV should have been �25, the assistant refunds the people �3, which means the people have paid �27 for a �25 TV.

The riddle is deliberately set out to 'trick' your brain into trying to make a mathematical equation that does not add up.

�30 (original price) minus �5 (discounted amount) equals �25 plus �3 (refunded amount) equals �28 plus �2 (the stolen amount the people think have gone toward the price of the TV) equals �30.

He had two pounds so the three others must have paid �28 between them not �27.

Just cut the cr@p and tell us where the shop is. I'll give them �40 for a tv and they can keep any change.

Actually, I'll bring �200 and get five.

The black screen was for that eco hour thing

Actually - if it was black all the time (and it can be - see www.blackle.com ) it would save energy
