Three people go to a restaurant for lunch. At the time of settling bill, they go dutch and put up Rs. 300.
The cashier sees that the bill is for 250 and gives 50 to the waiter to return to the people.
On the way to the table the waiter reasons that 50 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets 20 and gives 10 to each person.
Now each person paid Rs. 100 and got back 10. So they paid 90 each, totalling 270.
The waiter has 20, totalling 290. Where is the missing 10?

Answer:
A simple addition mixup. Originally, they paid Rs. 300, they each received back 10 each, thus they have actually paid only 270.
Of this 270, 250 went to the restaurant and 20 went to the waiter.
