da riddle goes like dis:
3 men go in a hotel and order icecream. da bill comes as Rs25. so each of dem pulls out rs10 and pay da bill. da owner gives da extra 5 to da waiter and tells him to distribute dem evenly.. so da waiter keeps rs2 wid himself and distributes da rs3 evenly. therefore each of dem pay rs9 ( coz each gives 10 and gets 1 back).so 9+9+9=Rs 27+Rs2(wich went into da waiters pocket) = Rs29 . WHERE DID DAT RS 1 GO TO????????????

The amount the waiter took isnt relevant. 9+9+9=27+ the 3 they got given back equals 30. Soz if this is rushed but on my phone :(

The 9+9+9 = 27 includes the Rs 2 the waiter took because they think they paid the hotel 27. The rest Rs 3 is the balance they got back. The total is Rs. 30.
The mistake is when you wrongly add the Rs 2 instead of Rs. 3 to the Rs. 27.
