It wasn't a tip in the other versions. He nicked it.

No, and I don't think they would put anything against you either.

I'm sure you wouldn't but that does not make you a bad person.

great to watch someone hurtling toward another ban...
Pssst .... £10 minus £1 is £9 not £9.66 ( with maths like that I see why this simple question has confused you ).

This one's great. Whoever would have guessed that 4 divided by 2 equals 2!
Think of a number. Double it. Add 10,000,000. Halve the number. Take away the number you first thought of. Your answer is 5,000,000.

One of them says it. Can't you read? He thinks they have paid £9 each plus one third of the £2 tip. Anyway, now we all know the answer which only 2 people managed to grasp we can all pretend to be clever.

To think I scored a distinction in my finance module. Shows how education is so devalued these days. I'm off to buy an abacus.

Is that a bit like you are arranging for the big boys to sort me out after school?

No-ones going to do that, but if you ask your maths teachers they will explain the puzzle to you.

I think you might be. Google the 'crooked waiter problem'

No need. I googled it and understood the answer straight away. To be fair some of you obviously did know the answer but did not explain it as well, some did not follow the question and most, like me eventually clicked it was a trick question. I should have googled it straight away.

Your previous ban taught you nothing then ?

Yes it taught me that the people who tend to get banned are not the regular posters and the ones who should get banned are obviously mates with the moderators. I half expected last time the mods might prove me wrong but that was misplaced faith in democracy.
