Three friends walk into a restaurant and split a bill of 30 BTC. Easy, right?
Each pays 10 BTC, totaling 30 BTC. But then the waiter realizes the actual bill was only 25 BTC!
He returns 5 BTC in 1-BTC coins. Since he canât split it evenly, he gives 1 BTC back to each friend (3 BTC total) and keeps 2 BTC as a tip for himself.
Now, letâs break it down:
Each friend ends up paying 9 BTC (10 paid - 1 returned)
Total paid = 3 Ă 9 = 27 BTC
The waiter kept 2 BTC
But hold on â 27 + 2 = 29 BTC?
What happened to the original 30 BTC? đ±
đ Hereâs the twist: The logic is misleading.
The 2 BTC tip is already part of the 27 BTC â itâs not something to add on top.
Hereâs the correct breakdown:
25 BTC (actual bill)
2 BTC (waiterâs tip)
= 27 BTC total spent
3 BTC returned to the friends
= 30 BTC total
đ§ No BTC is missing â just a clever trick of numbers.
