Do they completely throw away 1 IOTA every time or it returns to the jar? 
Completely.

So one of the main advantages of IOTA is that no micro payment is too small. Lets have some fun with that.
Ok, here is a task for everyone: Read the story below and answer the question in the end.
David, Dominik and CFB walk into a bar, they have Iota devs tip jar with some iotas in it. Being trinary numeral system zealots they decide to spend only 1/3 of all iotas from the tip jar. Unfortunatelly, the number of the iotas is not divisible by 3, so they throw 1 iota away and spend 1/3 on beer. After a while they decide to repeat and to spend 1/3 of the remaining iotas. The number of the iotas is not divisible by 3 again, so they throw 1 iota away and spend 1/3 on more beer. An hour later, to please the God of Trinary, they decided to spend 1/3 of the remaining iotas for the 3rd time. As you may guess, the number of the remaining iotas is not divisible by 3, but they know how to handle it - they throw 1 iota away and spend 1/3 of what is in the tip jar, take the beer and walk away.
Question: What is the lowest number of iotas might be in their tip jar before visiting the bar, taking into account that number of iotas can't be fractional?

Ok lets get this going. I have designed the increments table of Iota.
This is my first time for heard about iota and after seeing your table, iota is not different with the bitcoin pennies name satoshi.... maybe if I'm not wrong at this moment. Code:

BTW, please be careful about the address reuse. If you issue a tx and send some iotas from the address, do remove that address from the post.
Iota is going to need some sort of system like monero uses.
Quote
The destination of each CryptoNote output (by default) is a public key, derived from recipient’s address and sender’s random data.
So that an infinite series of valid addresses can be derived from a single string of data. That way we can post one string of data everywhere and everyone can sent to it and no one would ever have to worry about the problem you mentioned because every address would be one time use.

One more tip: please don't tip me more than 3.8 Ti. If you do want give me that, please ask me one more address. Thanks.

MISSING ADDRESS CHECKSUM
Did you attach it to the tangle before posting it here?
He is missing the checksum. Lol. It's the last 9 characters. He needs to copy the entire address.
Please solve for all variables-
a + b = 8
a + c = 13
b + d = 8
c - d = 6

What a funny thing to think of, thanks Anon136 
And your carefully crafted sentences have a response:
Yes, there is such a process. A fundamental one, inherent to humankind and forever present: stupidity.
By simply being stupid, a state or a nation, by the actions of those claiming or elected to be their executives, derives the right to engage in any action it so sees fit.
And by pursuing said stupidity, such entities can bestow upon other such entities the enforcement of any immoral action, as considered by the bestowed party, not only as moral but rightfully necessary, in the most absolute legitimacy for the bestowing party, thus not changing the character of said action in either case.
You may consider it as a corollary from the quantum nature of the Universe itself: the action is both immoral and moral at the same time, both legitimate and illegitimate.

I predicted this sort of response. That's why I carefully selected to insert the word "legitimately" in front of the word transformed. I wouldn't consider human stupidity to be a legitimate reason for claiming that an immoral transaction had been changed into a moral one without changing the character of the action itself. Of course that is a subjective thing, legitimacy. I just like to think that if you burrow down to peoples core beliefs, clear away the intellectual clutter so to speak, you will often find they would agree but that maybe they simply haven't thought about it the right way.
Sending bigger tip than usual for the thoughtful response. Thanks.
