Somthing I considered earlier. Has anyone come across a problem that needs improvement?

For example my friend saw a problem in the security of RFID cards without a solution and solved it.(patent pending)

I myself solved the issue of high transport costs associated with washing machines due to the concrete blocks(along with the inevitable back bad that comes with moving them(patent pending)

However it makes me wonder how many issues out there plague people go without a solution. Ever come across one yourselves?

There is enough in this world without adding anymore.

You can take that as a answer or a new age proverb. Smiley Very Happy

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
