I wish all stores were like that.....
if only
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
he could get a discount if he called it a coat
I got it right. The hint was a dead give away. Nice Teaser though.
Interesting, wish it worked like that in real life.
No wonder the salesman had a big grin when I bought a dozen knickerbockers with elasticated legs and several waterproof macintoshes!
BHOOOOOH.
there was a bonus problem like this in my sixth grade math book.
Oooooooohhhhhh? Now I get it! Good teaser!
LOL BOODLER!!!!!!
Very easy, but entertaining and fun! *high fives you*

Oh, how clever.

yay that was cool!
I got it without the hint! YAY for me!!
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.
*for (didn't mean to write it in spanish)
It's answer like this which make some people want to kill themselves for getting it wrong... oh well, great teaser!
Here's a logic problem for you:
Me + logic = does not compute!
I stink at logic!
But it was fun.
Me + logic = does not compute!
I stink at logic!
But it was fun.
P.S. bgil, "a pair of socks" would be $12, not $5. It would be $5 for just "socks".
