It's the law of supply and demand.
It just happened that William's were just worth more per sandwich
Or, maybe William's sandwich had squirrel meat, which is harder to come by
There is ambiguity in "shared equally".

Stranger shared equally with James.
Stranger shared equally with William.
It does not follow that James, William and Stranger shared equally with each other.

Infi - nice work on the letters - I "got it" once I saw your post.

Regarding nut #40:
The discrepancy arises because you can't buy 12 cents worth of apples from the lady who sells them at three for a cent, because she only has 30 apples which is 10 cents worth.
You have to buy 10 cents worth from her and 15 cents worth from the lady who charges 1 cent per two apples. The greedy bitch.

I think it is stretching it to call it a loss, though.

Profligate.

As I recall there was a shortfall recently at your Uni, was there not?

Coincidence?

Some of the "answers" are as difficult as the questions.

Agreed. Hence "Mental Nuts" and not "Mental Taking Candy From a Baby"

It's all about distraction.

Yeah, neither do I and I have the answer key. I was hoping one of you smarty-pantses would know.

I'm looking at the answers and it seems that there is a typo in the question. It should read 1/6 (C+P)

What does "the Coat costs as much as P and V" mean? It's equal to the sum of those two, or all three are equal to one another?
