Missing Dollar — socrateslee13

There is no missing dollar within the paradox. This is proven because the author informs the audience they paid $30.00, however the meal was only $25.00. Therefore the $5.00 that the cashier returns to the waiter is split between the waiter and the three ladies. The waiter returns a $1.00 to each lady and stole $2.00 for himself. The three ladies didn’t pay $9.00 each because it’s impossible to evenly pay a $25.00 bill with the ladies paying $9.00 each.
