Yes. And it's really non-debateable.

If he got the horse for free....

selling for 90, he has 90....
buying it for 80, leaves him 10 from his 90
selling for 100 .... he has 110.

what am i missing?

I think this must be a linguistic thing, "how much did he make on the transaction?" I think is meant to mean how much more did he make on the second transaction.

Just be glad this isn't 1921

Maybe this experiment will help: you will need someone to play the squirrel and you will need a piece of rope.

Premise: If you go around someone or something with a piece of rope (with one end of the rope affixed to the someone or something, the other end in your hand) then when you have made a complete circle they will have one turn of rope wrapped around them. Do you agree?

If you do not encircle them then there will be no rope wrapped around them. Do you agree?

Now, try going around your pretend squirrel with one end of the rope in your hand and the other affixed to the squirrel. If the squirrel is stationary you will encircle the squirrel with the rope.
Now try the same thing only this time, the squirrel always turns in the same direction as you. For added realism you can do this outside around a tree. See how many times you managed to encircle the squirrel with the rope.

Have someone record a video of it and put it up on youtube.

I know what you mean, can you believe it? Or are you referring to your answer to #33? Or would you like another Rolling Rock?
so, No. Yes. Yes.
