💸 WHERE DID THE 1 BTC GO?! 🤯
This classic crypto riddle has the Bitcoin community scratching their heads... Can you solve it?
🧾 The Setup:
Three friends go to dinner.
The bill? 30 BTC
Each pays 10 BTC → 10 × 3 = 30 BTC
Later, the waiter realizes the actual bill was only 25 BTC, so he brings back 5 BTC to return.
He gives 1 BTC to each friend (3 BTC total), and keeps 2 BTC as a tip.
🧠 Here’s where it gets confusing:
Each friend technically paid 9 BTC (10 - 1 = 9)
So: 9 × 3 = 27 BTC
Add the 2 BTC tip kept by the waiter:
27 + 2 = 29 BTC
But they originally paid 30 BTC!
Where did the missing 1 BTC go? 😱
🪄 The Truth: It’s a MIND TRICK.
You’re adding the 2 BTC tip to the 27 BTC —
but the 27 BTC already includes the tip!
Here’s the real breakdown:
✅ 25 BTC → to the restaurant
✅ 2 BTC → tip to the waiter
✅ 3 BTC → refunded to friends
Total: 30 BTC 🔒
🔍 It’s not missing money — it’s misleading math.
This riddle plays on flawed logic — a classic case of crypto misdirection.
