Teasergle V
Fred likes to spend time at his favorite brain teaser oriented site, Teasergle, playing his favorite game, Lunch Lobber. Currently, he has $2,550,000,000 in the bank in the game. He knows that he earns $44,000,000 every day he plays, and he spends $150,000,000 each week to increase his skill level in the game.
Can you help him figure out how many weeks, to the nearest whole week, he's been playing?

Answer
16 weeks.2,550,000,000 = 44,000,000 x 7 x W - 150,000,000 x W
2,550,000,000 = 308,000,000 x W - 150,000,000 x W
2,550,000,000 = 158,000,000 x W
W = 16.139

Heh pretty easy man, but nice anyway it would be a pain in the neck to do it without calc
well, the nice thing about having 6 zeros on everything is you can drop them, all. hate to be a stickler, but, he wouldn't have that much money at the sixteenth week, would he? (i guess taking into account *when* he spends the 150mil)
I liked that one. It's my skill level comfort zone- a problem I can solve without getting extremely involved or stressed at all. Kind of zen. Haha
hubby says, "nerd puzzle". I think he likey!
