    Ahahahah,
    I was just thinking I will do some more work than usual today, ...well before having a lunch and reading about this meanwhile. Now I cannot stop laughing :D

    So in general they have made a patent filling for an algorithm that will split each one's bill at a rest. or bar. Sounds like a joke, but it's not! It may be a parody, but fact!

    Maybe in the future updates they will take into consideration the tooth-stick and table-napkins use, or maybe count each one's alcohol percentage (in order everything to be fair)?!

    Here and here are some sources about it.

    Any thoughts guys?

    They probably plan ahead for a NFC payment solution.

    I don't think they're the first ones to think of this..and I also don't think they'll be the last. Go and google apps to "split the bill" and you'll find plenty of them out there.
