Three men in a cafe order a meal the total cost of which is $15. They each contribute $5. The waiter takes the money to the chef who recognises the three as friends and asks the waiter to return $5 to the men.

The waiter is not only poor at mathematics but dishonest and instead of going to the trouble of splitting the $5 between the three he simply gives them $1 each and pockets the remaining $2 for himself.

Now, each of the men effectively paid $4, the total paid is therefore $12. Add the $2 in the waiters pocket and this comes to $14. Where has the other $1 gone from the original $15?

However, the bottle cannot fit into the pipe.

How will you take the ball out?

There are five men, let's say Tarun Harish Lavesh, Manoj, and Manish. All of them have a dot mark on their forehead. They can't see the dots on their forehead but can see the ones on others.
