Surely a typing error? Thanks anyway for allowing me to trawl some very "****" sites eg & ctrlV :

Zeit ist das, was man an der Uhr abliest.
[Time is what a clock measures.]
Hector Berlioz
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.
Stanislaw Lec
People find life entirely too time consuming.
Marcus Aurelius
Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and its current is strong; no sooner does anything appear than it is swept away, and another comes in its place, and will be swept away too.
Groucho Marx
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Samuel Beckett
Vladimir: That passed the time.
Estragon: It would have passed in any case.
Vladimir: Yes, but not so rapidly.
Benjamin Disraeli
Time is the great physician.
Radavi
Time heals all wounds -- except deadly ones.
Kip Lewis
The speed of time is one second per second.
Ovid
Time is the devourer of all things.
Stephen Wright
Everywhere is in walking distance if you have the time.
Benjamin Franklin
You may delay, but time will not.

An inch of time cannot be bought with an inch of gold.

Time is a versatile performer. It flies, marches on, heals all wounds, runs out, and will tell.
Theodore Roethke
Time marks us while we are marking time.
Bob Talbert
Time neither subtracts nor divides, but adds at such a pace it seems like multiplication.
Henry David Thoreau
As if we could kill time without injuring eternity!
Dean Acheson
The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.

Time is a circus, always packing up and moving away.
David B. Norris
How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever.
Aldous Huxley
To us, the moment 8:17 AM means something -- something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train. To our ancestors, such an odd eccentric instant was without significance -- did not even exist. In inventing the locomotive, Watt and Stevenson were in part inventors of time.

There are 3 people in a restaurant, having a meal. The total bill for the meal comes to £30. Therefore they each decide to pay £10 towards the cost. They give the money to the waiter, who takes it to the cash till. The Boss, who happens to be standing nearby, says,
"You idiot! You've overcharged those people by £5! Take the £5 out of the till and back to their table!"
The waiter takes out the 5 £1 coins. On his way over to the table, angry at his boss, he puts £2 in his pocket out of spite, in the knowledge that the customers do not know that they are owed £5. With £3 still in his hand, he goes to the table and gives each of the diners a pound coin. Therefore each of the diners has only paid £9 for their meal. Three times £9 adds up to £27, and the waiter has £2 in his pocket. This adds up to £29, so where has the last pound gone?

*sigh* the number of times this one crops up...

Alternatively, think of it as £25 for the meal, plus £2 tip, plus £1 that they each put back in their wallets, equals the £30 they originally paid.
The figure of £27 already includes the £2 tip - adding it again is just wrong.

Just playing "devils advocate"
The trick is making people count the £2 the waiter keeps twice, £9x3=27 + the £2 tip is wrong as £27 total has already accounted for the £2 tip, ie £25 bill plus the £2 the waiter keeps, leaving £3 for each of the customers. I think thats clear enough explaination.
Just funny watching people here at work doing their nut in.
Just looked, AndyC beat me to it!
