Thought over this during lunch and here is how I would do this,
I will be the first person and write down a number on paper which obviously will not be my salary. Then I will pass on this paper to each of the remaining 8 accountants and ask them to add their salary to it and erase previous figure and note down the new figure. At the end, I will subtract the number I had noted down initially and add my salary and divide the sum by 9. Looks like a crude way but I cannot think of a formal solution as of now. I hope "round table" is just to confuse and the problem does not have an element of Geometry in it... Cheers, V i V e K ...
