🧠💸 The Case of the Missing 1 BTC 💸🧠
(aka: why math + crypto = chaos sometimes 😅)
Three friends walk into a restaurant. The bill? 30 $BTC
They split it — 10 BTC each. Easy, right?
🔁 But hold up —
The waiter comes running back:
“Oops! The bill was actually 25 BTC!”
So he returns 5 $BTC in 1-BTC coins.
🤔 Problem: 5 BTC can’t be split 3 ways evenly.
So he gives 1 BTC back to each friend (3 BTC total),
and quietly keeps 2 $BTC as a tip for himself. 👀
Now let’s do the math (aka where the brain explodes):
Each friend paid 10 BTC, got 1 BTC back →
So effectively paid 9 BTC
9 × 3 = 27 BTC total paid
Waiter kept 2 BTC
27 + 2 = 29 BTC...?
BUT WAIT. They originally paid 30 BTC!
WHERE’S THE MISSING 1 BTC?! 😱🧮

🪄 Answer:
There is no missing BTC — it’s just a trick of how you frame it.
The 2 BTC the waiter kept is already part of the 27 BTC total.
✅ 25 BTC = actual bill
✅ 2 BTC = sneaky tip
✅ 3 BTC = returned to the friends
= 30 BTC accounted for.

🎩 Moral of the story:
Crypto or cash, numbers don’t lie — but your logic might!
So always double-check your change (and your math).
Even in Web3. 😏💡
