Three people were having lunch in a restaurant. Lunch cost 25 euros.
Everyone took out 10 euros from their wallets, making a total of 30.
The waiter took 30 euros and brought change - 5 euros.
They decided to leave 2 euros as a tip, and divided the remaining 3 euros among themselves - 1 euro each.
They began to count: each person spent 9 euros on lunch, but if 3 x 9 = 27, plus 2 euros for tea, then it turns out to be 29 euros in total.
Where did another 1 euro go?
Answer: 27 (25 lunch + 2 for tea) + 3 (change) = 30 euros, that is, 2 euros for tea are already included in 27 euros, but they incorrectly included it in the remaining 3 euros.

Two young Cossacks, both dashing riders, often fought with each other about who would outrun whom.
More than once one or the other was the winner. Finally, they got tired of it. Gregory said: “Let’s argue the other way around.
Let the bet go to the one whose horse arrives at the appointed place second, and not first.” "OK!" - Mikhail answered.
The Cossacks rode out to the steppe on their horses. There were a lot of spectators: everyone wanted to look at such a curiosity.
One old Cossack began to count, clapping his palms: “One! Two! Three!..” The debaters, of course, are not moving.
The spectators began to laugh, judge and argue, and decided that such a dispute was impossible and that the disputants would stand still,
as they say, until the end of time.
Then a gray-haired old man, who had seen different types in his time, approached the crowd: “What’s the matter?”
They told him. The old man answered: “Hey! Now I’ll say something to them that will make them jump like they’ve been scalded.”
And indeed, the old man approached the Cossacks, said something to them, and half a minute later the Cossacks were already rushing across the steppe at full speed,
trying to outrun each other. But the bet was still won by the one whose horse came second. What did the old man say?
Answer: The old man whispered to the Cossacks: everyone mount the enemy’s horse.

Sixteen coins are arranged in a checkerboard pattern, either with the coat of arms at the top or with a grid at the top in the form of a square (see picture). How, having touched only two coins, rebuild the square so that in each horizontal line all four coins face up, either only with coats of arms, or only with a hash mark?
Answer: Place your index and middle fingers on the first and third coins in the top row and move them until they touch the bottom of the first and third coins in the bottom row. After that, move the first and third columns and fill in the empty spaces in the first row. All coins in the first and third rows will have their coats of arms facing up, while those in the second and fourth rows will have their hash marks facing up.
