Who thinks they are brainy or bright?

Figure this out.

3 guys eat a meal and are charged $30, they split it 3 ways and pay the waiter $30, he takes it to the till and finds out that the meal was acutally $25.

The waiter returns to the table with the $5 change in $1 bills. The 3 guys take $1 each and give the waiter the other $2 for his tip.

That now means each guy has paid $9 (the $10 they paid, less the $1 change) for his meal and the waiter has $2.

So 3 guys x $9 = $27 add the waiters $2 and you get $29. Where did the other $1 go?

My dad thinks I am so bright he calls me his son.

Anyways. sometimes Google takes all the fun out of life....

(Hint, the difference is not the same as the actual amount.)

that must be the new math they are teaching these days.

The bill was 25. Each guy paid 9, or 27 total. The waiter received a 2 dollar tip.

25 for the meal plus 2 for the tip equals 27. Works out quite well.

Is there a PID for this?

[joecar]

You need two calc pids:

CALC.ESTABLISHMENT.GOT = TILL.DRAWER.AMOUNT + WAITER.POCKET.AMOUNT
CALC.THREEGUYS.SPENT = GUY1.PAID.AMOUNT + GUY2.PAID.AMOUNT + GUY3.PAID.AMOUNT

(since the waiter is a part of the establishment)

Yeah turns out its an oldy with a logical answer.
Still, makes you weird out initially.

My road runner has arrived, gets dropped off tomorrow!

Next step is dyno time for Mr Spark Timing.
