I guess the riddle is that there is no riddle.
Meal: $26.00
Tip: $1.00
Change: $3.00
Watching a bunch of forum-dwellers try to apply logic to the illogical: Priceless.

The only thing it says is that each chipped in $10 to cover them meal. You are assuming that they each bought a meal of the same price... they didnt. Second assumption was by the waiter, thinking that they would all want an equal amount of change back. Each man either paid too much or not enought to cover his actual costs. All of the money is accounted for.
