    There was 3 nuns and they all went to an electric store to buy a t.v costing £30. They all decide to pay £10 each. The sales man sells it them and then off they go.
    Afterwards, the manager tells the sales man that the t.v had been reduced to £25 and to give £5 back to the nuns.
    So the sales man decides to keep £2 from the £5 to keep for his self, and each gives the nuns £1 back each. SO altogether the nuns have actually only paid £9 each.
    Lets do the math...
    £9
    £9
    + £9
    £2 = £29

    So what happened to the other pound?!?



    Answer : There is NO answer!! I don't think anyway...unless there are some expert maths people out there?!

    It depends how you look at the question:

    Each nun pays £10
    10+10+10 = 30
    The man keeps £2
    30 - 2 = 28
    The nuns get £3 back between them
    28 - 3 = 25

    Simple, it just depends how your brain works. There is a better way to remember it, I'll dig it up in a bit.

    I would add more, but I'm lazy.
