eons old, but a good un none the less.
3 blokes buy a TV for £30.
They each pay £10.
The shop keeper says he's feeling generous and decides he'll sell the TV to them for £25 instead of the £30 tag.
Obviously with a fiver difference in the price, the shop keeper decides to give each of the blokes a pound each back ( £3 ) and keep the remaining £2 himself.
So now, in theory, each of the blokes has paid £9 as they each have a pound change in their pockets.
If you total 3 x £9's, which = £27 and add the £2 the shop keeper has in his pocket, this = £29.
Where has the other £1 gone ?
