I have a question for you all. What happens to all the tokens mistakenly sent from a wallet to a wrong wallet and where do they go? 

If you mistakenly send to a real wallet, then it goes to an individual or group that own the wallet, but if sent to a burn address, it means no one will have access to it, because such address has no private key to access it.

An examples of burn addresses are:
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
3x3333333333333333333333333333333333333333
4x4444444444444444444444444444444444444444
N.B: It most times contain same figure all through.

This is for ethereum tokens.
