Where Did the Missing 1 BTC Go? đ¤đ§Ž
Let me walk you through a classic brain teaser â with a Bitcoin twist.
Three friends go out for dinner and receive a bill for 30 BTC. They decide to split it evenly, so each pays 10 BTC (3 Ă 10 = 30 BTC).
Later, the waiter realizes the actual bill was only 25 BTC. Wanting to do the right thing, he decides to return 5 BTC to the group.
Now here's where it gets interesting.
Splitting 5 BTC evenly between three people isnât clean. So, the waiter gives 1 BTC back to each friend (3 Ă 1 = 3 BTC), and he quietly keeps the remaining 2 BTC as a tip.
Letâs do the math:
Each friend originally paid 10 BTC
Each got 1 BTC back
â So, they effectively paid 9 BTC each
â Thatâs 3 Ă 9 = 27 BTC
The waiter kept 2 BTC as a tip.
27 BTC + 2 BTC = 29 BTC
Wait a secondâŚ
They started with 30 BTC.
Whereâs the missing 1 BTC? đ¤Ż
The Catch? Itâs a Trick of Perspective.
The confusion lies in how we frame the numbers.
When we say:
27 BTC (what the friends paid) + 2 BTC (waiterâs tip) = 29 BTC,
we're mistakenly adding the tip again â but it's already included in the 27 BTC!
Hereâs the real breakdown:
25 BTC went to the restaurant (the actual bill)
2 BTC went to the waiter (his tip)
â 25 + 2 = 27 BTC paid in total
Each friend got 1 BTC back
â 3 Ă 1 = 3 BTC returned
27 BTC paid + 3 BTC returned = 30 BTC
â
The math checks out.
â The "missing 1 BTC" never existed.
Itâs not a math error â just a cleverly framed illusion.
Next time someone tries this trick on you, show them how you cracked it. đ§ đĽ
