What's up, Doc.

That one had my head spinning for hours the first time I heard it.
The version I heard had to do with a Pizza delivery boy but the same math applies.

As Dalin replied:

I can't wait to ask my accountant that one, next time I talk to him...
That should keep him busy for a few days.

Doc.....Its an exercise in cooking the books
$25 (actual cost)divided by 3 = 8.33333/person
8.33333 +1 = 9.3333 x 3 = 28 + 2 (for the bh) = $30

the other way is
30 - 3 ($1) = 27 - 2 (for the bh) =$25(actual cost)
Going 9x3=27 + 2 =29 is Cooking the Books...the .3333/person in not accounted for

you need to get to actual cost
25+3+2=30
