There is enough in this world without adding anymore.
You can take that as a answer or a new age proverb.

Three men have lunch every Wednesday in the same pub - they always have the set meal which costs them £10 each. One week, they have their meals and give the waitress £30 in payment but when she goes to ring it into the till, the landlord stops her and tells her to give them £5 back - as a reward for their loyalty to the pub. The waitress does as she is told but the men realise that tey can't split the fiver three ways so they each take £1 and give the other £2 to the waitress as a tip.
Here's the thing...
Each man originally handed-over £10 - and they each received £1 back - so they actually paid £9 each. There are three men - and three times £9 = £27. Add the £2 that the waitress received and you have £27 + £2 - which is a total of £29...
...so what happened to the other £1?

They didn't pay £27, they only paid £25.

The final bill may be £25 but that's not what they paid - they paid £30.
Put it another way. If those men had gone into that pub with exactly £10 each in their pocket - they walked out with £1 each in their pocket. Between them, they walked in with £30 and walked out with £3 - so they spent £27 - and the waitress gained £2 from the tip - which leaves £1 missing.

30-5= 25 /3 =8.33r
Plus 2 for the waitress and 1 pound each for the gentleman take you to 29.99
