- that now even the 5th person can eat for free.
- The 6th must pay 20,
- the 7th pays 50
- the 8th pays 90
- the 9th pay 120 $
and finally
- the 10, which now pays $520 instead of $590.
Everyone gets a lower price than the original bill and now in addition 5 of the people get to eat for free. Outside the restaurant, however, the group begins to discuss.
"I only save 1/10 of the discount of $200" says the 6th person and points to the 10th and says: "but he saves $70"
"Right, I only earn 1/10 of what he does, he also gets 7 times as much discount as me, it's unfair" says the 5th person.
- "It is absolutely true, why should he who has so much money get 70 $ back, when I only get 20 $, the rich should always have the most" says the 7th in curse
- "Wait a minute" (says the first 4 who ate for free) "we get nothing left from the price reduction, this system is made to take advantage of the poor and gives the most to the rich"
The 9 person is now standing angry at the 10th and the accusations of exploiting the poor, of greed and selfishness hail.
The next night the 10th person does not come to dinner. The 9 others think just as well and sit down at the table. When the bill comes, they discover something strange.
..They are missing 520 $.....
