    But two died you'd still have one.

    Please explain.
    Wouldn't this have been harder if you had omitted the words in red?

    do you get it now. Like your name is enoughfakefiles. the fishes name is one and two.
    I suppose you think 9 X 3 = 27. Explain this one then.

    There were three women sharing a house, and they agreed to divide all the
    expenses evenly. They each paid a third of the rent, a third of the
    telephone bill and a third of all the groceries.


    One day they decided to buy a television, and went down to the second-hand
    shop where there was an old black & white TV in the window for £30. They
    each handed over £10 and carried the TV away.


    As they left, the salesman went to his boss and said, "I just managed to
    get rid of that old TV in the window."


    "For how much?", replied the boss.


    "Thirty ponds.", said the salesman.


    "Oh, no. It's on sale for only £25. Catch up with them and give them their
    change.", ordered the boss.


    The salesman took five £1 coins out of the till and ran down the road. On
    the way, he thought to himself, "Well, these women split everything between
    them; how am I going to divide five £1 coins between three people?"


    He decided not to bother. He'd give them a £1 coin each and would pocket
    the other £2 for himself, who would ever know!


    He caught up with them and gave each of them a coin.

    Q.) How much did each of the women pay for the TV?
    A.) They paid £10 each and they each got £1 back, so that makes it £9.

    Q.) And what is three times nine?
    A.) Twenty-seven!

    Q.) How much did the salesman keep?
    A.) Two pounds

    Q.) And what is twenty-seven plus two?
    A.) Twenty-nine

    Q.) So where's the other pound?
    that's stupider than the nine fingers thing

    Actually, after the fiver was taken out of the till, each woman has paid £8.33 and one third of a penny.

    Add to that the pound each that the salesman returned and you get £9.33 and one third of a penny.

    Multiply by three and that gives you precisely £28. The salesman has £2 in his pocket.

    £28 + £2 = £30
    Can you explain that again?
    That's the way the potato mashes.
    That's the way the pan flashes.
    That's the way the market crashes.
    That's the way the whip lashes.
    That's the way the teeth gnashes.

    It means for three quid you get a lot of fish and chips, I think
