The £1 riddle that centres around a restaurant bill that doesn't seem to add up is the latest fiendishly tough brain teaser to leave the internet baffled


After the waiter takes their money, he realises that he's made a mistake in totting up the bill and instead of £30, the party should only have been charged £25.

However, he can't figure out how to split £5 evenly. So he decides to give each diner back £1 from the extra £5 and keep £2 for himself.

Each of the three diners gets £1 back that meaning they paid £9 each for their meal, bringing the total to £27.

If the waiter keeps £2, that brings the total to £29 - so where did the other £1 go?

The answer is that the £1 is not actually missing, you just need to approach the calculation in a different way.

You add it up by taking into account the £25 cost of the meal, plus the £3 given to the diners and the £2 kept by the waiter, which works out at £30.

That's an old one that seems to be doing the rounds again.
It doesn't work out one way but it does works out another way.
I think it's one of those puzzles that has two ways of working it out....maybe.

Doesn't he ever do the "Where's the mustard?" when he's looking in the fridge and it's right there, big and yellow and looking like mustard?
