blondinthebrain Apr 14, 2005	I thought that he was charging by the 'importance' of each item! hits forehead and yells," I'm so stupid!" LOL Peace out my dawgs! :-) :-D
deepsea Sep 18, 2005	he could get a discount if he called it a coat
Sunrose Sep 19, 2005	I got it right. The hint was a dead give away. Nice Teaser though.
peppamintp Nov 10, 2005	Interesting, wish it worked like that in real life.
boodler Nov 25, 2005	No wonder the salesman had a big grin when I bought a dozen knickerbockers with elasticated legs and several waterproof macintoshes!

bgil7604 Feb 28, 2007	wow, i'm really confused. I know it is a teaser, but why would you sell stuff using that pricing method. It's like $5 por a pair of socks.
bgil7604 Feb 28, 2007	*for (didn't mean to write it in spanish)
brudork Mar 10, 2007	It's answer like this which make some people want to kill themselves for getting it wrong... oh well, great teaser!
nerdyiscool May 05, 2007	Here's a logic problem for you: Me + logic = does not compute! I stink at logic! But it was fun.
nerdyiscool May 05, 2007	P.S. bgil, "a pair of socks" would be $12, not $5. It would be $5 for just "socks".
