| 831938 | 2009-11-20 12:06:00 | The first one got me, I still cant see how it works Take a dollar away from the prices. You are left with ten cents. Thats five cents for each item. Add a dollar onto the bat. |

| 831939 | 2009-11-20 12:07:00 | The first one got me, I still cant see how it works Trick question, it says a dollar more. Ball = 0.05 Bat = 1.05 Total = Bat + Ball 1.10 = 1.05 + 0.5 Bat = 0.05 + 1 Hope you can follow... I don't think I am making any sense, but atleast I gave it a shor. |

| 831942 | 2009-11-20 20:14:00 | Same here on Q1, I was hoping someone else would ask so I didnt look stupid (more stupid). | prefect (6291) | ||
| 831943 | 2009-11-20 20:28:00 | Q2 would be more interesting if they asked how long it took 200 machines to make 20 widgets. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
