so.. they pay 21 pounds, minus the 2 that are stolen, leaving 19, and get one back, leaving 18 that the meal is actually paid for with. the answer is that both the waiter and the guy at the checkout are dishonest b******s and should be fired. they cheated the resteraunt out of 2 pounds. where exactly is an extra supposed to come from? what a stupid puzle.

You know, I can't remember the exact wording of the puzzle either. My grandfather told me it and I remember spending ages trying to work it out (yes, those times spent at my grandparents' house WERE that boring!) Of course, that could be because I was young and foolhardy...as opposed to being merely foolhardy now.
Dah, the exact wording of that puzzle is going to bother me all week now...I'm going to have to find out what it was...
