Requirements. One working brain.
Batman, Robin and Alfred go into a restaurant. They order an evening buffet and agree to split the bill which comes up to $30. Each pulls out a $10 bill.
The waiter, Joker, realises that Alfred qualifies for a senior citizen discount of $5. He reaches for 5 one dollar bills in the cash register. On his way to the table to give Alfred his discount, he changes his mind. He gives each of them a dollar and keeps two for himself.
Eagerly taking their rebate, each concludes they paid $10, got $1 back, and concludes dinner cost $9 per person.
$9 x 3 persons = $27.
Joker kept 2 bucks.
$27+$2 = $29.
But $30 was originally spent.
Where did that last dollar go?
