The Waiter decides since he cannot split $5 evenly among 3 people he decides to pocket $2, meaning the group paid a total of $27.

So the group paid $27 ($9 each), and he has $2 in his pocket, equaling $29.

What happened to the other dollar?
If he pocketed $2 they paid $28.

What if you shoot it into a Mountain? Then it will hit the ground first.

Oh, and we're in a vacuum.

While that makes sense, how do you explain the fact that they each paid $9? That equals $27.

The bearing from the gun will land moments after the one you dropped. Unless the barrel of the gun has a length of 0. The barrel will prevent the bearing from falling until the bearing is out of the barrel.

Oh I KNOW!!

You say they paid $27, and then add $2 which is already part of the $27. You shouldn't be adding that $2. Thus, it's only $27. So there are three dollars, which the waiter gives back to the people. It's deceptively written.

WTF? Wouldn't the powder charge make a difference?

Let's say Im shooting a 10 mm ball bearing with about 55 grains of rifle powder.

I'm shooting this bearing from a height of 4 ft. I drop the bearing in my other hand at the same time from 4 ft. and the hit the ground at the same time...

Ok, now I adjust the powder charge to 75 grains. I shoot from the same height, but now I have adjusted the velocity of the projectile by about 800-1,000 feet per second. This would have to be a variable somehow.

I'm saying the math in your problem is incorrect. If he pocketed $3, then they would have each paid $9. But it says he pocketed $2 which makes it $27...which is bad math.

Apparently it went to the California Public School system because it didn't teach the students how to properly read and/or analyze word problems.

You are overthinking it!!!!!
$30-$2 is NOT $27!!

Count from the moment it leaves the barrel.

I'm just stretching it out for complete explanation.

None, until you fill it.
