Just a brainteaser I got told ages ago. First time around it had me scratching my head for hours, I hope to do the same to you :P I may have posted it before, but here you go anyway :
3 old ladies go for lunch at a cafe. They all have the same meal, which costs 5 pounds each. At the end of the meal, they pay the waiter, by each giving him a 5 pound note, totalling 15 pounds. When the waiter gets to the cash register, the manager informs him that there is a special on - buy 2 meals get the 3rd free. The waiter is a shifty beggar and decides to exploit the situation. Of the 5 pounds change, he pockets 2 pounds, and then gives the ladies back a pound each, saying that he had overcharged them. So, the ladies have now all paid 4 pounds each. 3 x 4 = 12 pounds. The waiter pocketed 2 pounds. 12 + 2 = 14 pounds. So where has the other pound gone?

OK, I have a brainteaser for you, I know everyone knows what Relative Humidity is, Right? I'll just bet you don't know what my answer for this quetion will be. I want you to try guessing first?
the extra pound actually went towards an industrial size bag of werthers originals
The waiter must be OVERJOYED at earning an extra £2 that day
excellent, like you say, it's all in the way you word it, but it had me baffled for a while.

NO ITS RIGHT.
15 (paid) - 3 (returned) = 12
12 - 2 (waiter kept) = 10 (mela for 3, 10 / 3 = 3.333333333333333333333)
Have you seen what you have done to me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
