"I think they are very good - some of the 'numeracy' starters were a little dry but you seem to have improved them recently. Thanks for taking the time to put these together and making them free. You've earnt your gold star!"

"Good Grief! That had me going (despite being a 30 year old maths graduate!) The waiter's £2 came out of the £27 paid by the three diners. They did pay £27 (3 x £9) and £25 went to the kitchen and £2 to an unscrupulous waiter. Thanks for making me think though!"

"The £27 they paid is the £25 for the meal and the £2 the waiter kept."

"Excellent. Thank you very much for a fabulous set of starters. I use the 'weekenders' if the daily ones are not quite what I want. Brilliant and much appreciated."

"£30 shared equally between three is £10 each.
£25 shared equally between three is £8.33333......(recurring).
(£8.3333...) X 3 + £5 = £10 X 3
So the pound is still there!"

"Right
The £30 is spead out like this
Restaurant:- £25
Waitor:- £2
Customers:- £3
so 25 + 2 + 3 = £30 so the pound is still there
That Waitor is "NAE NICE""
