In the post by X user Sneha (@itspsneha), a photo/screenshot of the sheet has been provided. The column headers name the people in the group while the rows list the food items consumed and later, it mentions specific amounts paid by and owing to individual friends.
However, when it comes to splitting the bill for water, at ₹2 per head for a group of six friends, the CA totalled it to ₹10. Going by the calculations, the total should have been 12.

Netizens have been going gaga over how the CA could make such a simple error. Although the original post went viral because of how much efforts went into splitting a bill, social media users posted hilarious comments on the error made in the bill.
“It's best for everyone in the party to use splitwise and enter their own expenses as and when they are incurred, instead of one person doing it. Been on multiple trips with friends and this has worked really well,” commented one user.
