Three old ladies go to a second hand shop to buy a TV.
They pick one out and it costs £30. They pay the shopkeeper £10 each, and arrange for free delivery.
The next day, the shop owner gives the delivery driver £3, and asks him to give it back to the ladies, because he feels a bit sorry for them.
On his journey, the driver decides that he'll keep £1 for himself, because he's a bit of a liar and a thief.
So on his arrival, the driver drops off the TV and gives the old ladies £2 back.
Okay, so two of the old ladies have paid £9 each, and one has paid £10, yes?
The driver kept £1, yes?
So where has the other £1 gone? The above only adds up to 29, but in the beginning there was 30.
Please help. It hurts my bain.
