Classic Riddle
You walk into a dark room.
There’s a match, a candle, and a lantern.
What do you light first?
The match!
Three friends each pay £10 to go on a school trip — that’s £30 in total.
Later, the teacher realises the trip only costs £25, so she gives £5 back to the helper to return to the students.
The helper can’t split £5 evenly between three people, so they give £1 back to each student and keep £2.
Now each student has paid £9 (3 × 9 = £27), and the helper has £2.
But wait... £27 + £2 = £29 — where’s the missing £1?
There’s no missing pound – it’s a trick of the wording.
The students paid £27 in total.
£25 went to the trip cost, and £2 went to the helper.
The £27 already includes the £2, so you shouldn’t add it again.
The £30 is made up of:
£25 for the trip
£2 kept by the helper
£1 returned to each of the 3 students (3 × £1 = £3)
£25 + £2 + £3 = £30 ✅
