Brain Teasers
£7.11 At The 7-11 store
Mad Ade entered his local 7-11 store to purchase some provisions. He picked up some "dead rat and scabby monkey" flavoured crisps (potato chips for those of you who are American), a large bottle of pickled onion flavoured pop (soda), a left handed toilet roll and a tub of Kebab flavoured ice cream. At the checkout Mad Ade was told that the cost was £7.11. Mad Ade was curious that the cost was the same as the store name, so he inquired as to how the figure was derived. The acne riddled clerk said that he had simply multiplied the prices of the four individual items. Mad Ade complained as this had been done to him in another teaser (Entitled "Five Pound Seventy Pence" Teaser #4848), only with three amounts instead of four. He protested that the four prices should have been ADDED, not MULTIPLIED. The spotty clerk said that that was OK with him, but, the result was still the same: exactly £7.11.
