The Priceless Paper
Puzzle
The old man wiped his mouth, left a single piece of paper on the table, and walked out of the luxury steakhouse. The manager eagerly snatched the paper and locked it in his safe. The man’s bank account was never charged for the feast, yet the restaurant considered it the most profitable meal they had served all year. No crime was committed, and no charity was given.
