Mental Nuts-- Can You Crack 'em?

I was here on time, no clue. Slept on it, no clue. How about this: A's corn was popped popcorn, B's corn was fresh corn, and C's corn was dried corn. The different *densities* would account for the differing volumes. This presumes that the corn was selling for the same price per pound (?). Because it seems that the corn isn't selling for the same price per bushel (volume).

Somehow, different numbers of bushels are worth equal amounts of money. What varies? The quality of the corn? The quantity of the corn? Wait. Perhaps they all gave their corn away for free, and consequently each received the same amount of money, zero.

That's my answer. The corn was worthless, and they're taking it to the town corn dump. They're being paid *nothing*, equally.
