Question:
Three managers in an office see a portable TV in a sale for £30 so send their gofer off with the money to buy
When he gets there the price has been reduced to £25. So as to keep things tidy he gives the three managers £1 each back and pockets the £2 left over.
The three managers have now laid out £9 each = £ 27 and the gofer has £2 making £29 altogether laid out.
What happened to the £1 from the original £30?
A conundrum for those who have not heard it.

Sorry to be somewhat repetative but I do not look at and know every question that has been posted on here! Will remove it as soon as it is opened.
Thank you.
Answers:
The managers give £30 in total (£10 each)
The TV cost £25 (£8.33.3r each)
The Mangers received £3 back (£1 each)
The gofer kept £2 (£0.66.6r each)
So in actual fact the managers spent £9.33.3r each
