Three students share a flat. Their tv breaks down and, not having much money, they decide to try the second hand shops. Eventually they find one with a tv for sale for £30, so, after parting with £10 each, they head off home with their purchase.
Just after they left the shop the manager arrives and seeing the tv has been sold asks his assistant what the students had paid for it. On finding that it had been sold for £30 he reminds the assistant that it had atually been marked down to £25 and, being of an honest nature, instructs his assistant to run after them and give them £5 back. The assistant however was not as honest as the manger, and decides to give them £1 back each and pocket the other £2.
By doing this it meant that the students had paid £9 each, totaling £27. The assistant had kept £2 making grand total of £29. Where did the other £1 go?
