Question
Four young men sent one young man to buy cholent for them, a quarter liter for each, and each gave him twenty shekels, which is the price for a quarter liter. Since a whole liter costs fifty shekels, the messenger bought a liter and distributed a quarter liter to each young man. The messenger was left with thirty shekels, to whom does the money belong?
Answer
The messenger must return the remaining money to the senders.
