You should read Douglas Adams, I think it is in "Life the Universe and Everything" where he explains the theory of BistroMath, which has some relevance to this little conundrum.
Would you like me to post the solution here or email it to you?

Re: First edition of SIXappeal...
So, £9+£9+£9 = £27, plus the £2 in the waiters pocket = £29, so where is the missing £1 ?????
This is Bernie Madoff accounting......!

The money was added up incorrectly. They paid £27. The waiter kept £2 but that £2 is in the £27 they paid and now we should add the £3 they were given back!
