There were 3 old ladies who's tv had broken,
They went to an electronics shop and bought a tv for £30,
They each put £10 towards buying the tv which equaled to the final price
the salesman said to the 3 old ladies i will have the tv delivered to you
later today,The salesman felt guilty for charging them full price so he said
to the delivery man give them back £5,the delivery man thought to himself its a bit hard
to share £5 between 3 people so i will give them each £1,and i will keep £2 for myself
so in total the 3 old ladies each paid £9 towards the tv not £10 which totaled to £27
and the delivery man kept £2 for himself which in total amounted to £29,where is the other pound?

Different wording but exactly the same as....

lol thanks for that, i heard the teaser yesterday whilst out with a friend and i could not work it out in my head,but now i know that the way the teaser is told is a misleading story but quite simple when you think about it.
