The Missing 1 BTC Mystery: Solved! 😱🪙

You’ve probably heard this viral riddle — three friends go out to eat and somehow 1 BTC mysteriously vanishes. Let’s break it down and solve the mystery once and for all.

🍽️ The Setup

Three friends go to a restaurant and receive a bill for 30 BTC. They each contribute 10 BTC, making a total of 30 BTC.

Soon, the waiter realizes the bill was actually only 25 BTC. To make up for it, he takes 5 BTC to return to them. But... 5 BTC can’t be split evenly three ways, right?

So, the waiter gives back 1 BTC to each friend (3 BTC total), and sneakily keeps 2 BTC as a tip. 🤫💰

🧮 The Confusing Math

Now each friend has paid 10 BTC and received 1 BTC back. That means they really paid 9 BTC each.

So:

9 BTC × 3 = 27 BTC

The waiter kept 2 BTC, and when you add that:

27 BTC + 2 BTC = 29 BTC ❌

But wait… they paid 30 BTC. Where’s the missing 1 BTC?! 😲

🧠 The Truth Behind the Illusion

Here’s the trick: the 2 BTC tip is already part of the 27 BTC. That total (27 BTC) includes:

• 25 BTC for the meal 🍲

• 2 BTC the waiter kept 💸

So there's nothing to add.
The correct breakdown is:

30 BTC total = 25 BTC (meal) + 2 BTC (waiter) + 3 BTC (returned) ✅

The whole thing is a clever play on logic — a fun mind trick that mixes up how we group the numbers.

✅ Lesson?

1. Don't fall for the math misdirection. There’s no missing BTC — just a missing understanding of how the numbers are being presented! #doge⚡ $BTC
