WHERE DID THE 1 BTC GO? 🤯 This riddle has been breaking minds in crypto circles — can you solve it?
Three friends go out for dinner and get a bill for 30 BTC. They each pay 10 BTC, totaling 30 BTC.
But the waiter later realizes the actual bill was only 25 BTC. So, he takes 5 BTC back to return to them. Since 5 BTC can’t be split evenly, he gives 1 BTC back to each of the three friends (3 BTC total), and keeps 2 BTC as a tip.
Now here’s the twist: Each friend effectively paid 9 BTC (10 - 1 = 9). That’s 3 × 9 = 27 BTC, and the waiter kept 2 BTC. 27 BTC + 2 BTC = 29 BTC…
But wait — they originally paid 30 BTC! Where did the missing 1 BTC go?! 😱
Think carefully… or scroll down for the answer!
🧠 The Trick Explained: You’re being misled by the logic. The 2 BTC tip is already part of the 27 BTC — not something to be added on top of it. The actual breakdown is:
25 BTC (restaurant bill)
2 BTC (tip to the waiter)
3 BTC (returned to the friends) Total = 30 BTC ✅
It’s a play on perception — not missing money. 😉
Don’t let tricks fool your wallet — stay sharp, stay logical, stay in profit!
