..--o-o-o
...\...../|
....o..o.o
......X...|
....o..o.o
.../.....\|

ignore the periods. they're there to fill up space otherwise the system messes up the alignment.

$0.25

$0.025 + ($0.025+$1.00) = $1.05

.05 dive by 2, u get 0.025 ( 0.025+0.025=0.05 ) 0.05 + 1.00 = 1.05

The answer is 2.5 cents "A" cork.

To dumb it down, "If a bottle and a cork cost $1.05" bottle is $1 right? "What would be the cost of the cork?" 0.025, They never said how many corks. They said "If a bottle and a cork cost $1.05 and the bottle cost $1.00 more than the cork, What would be the cost of the cork" 2.5cents "A" Cork!

He said 0.25 wen it should of read 2.5C

Status: offline 		okay, its just algebra

let the cost of the cork be x

so the cork costs x
the bottle costs x+$1.00 (a dollar more than the cork)
the total cost is $1.05

so: cork + bottle = total cost
or: (x) + (x+$1.00) = $1.05
--> x + x + $1.00 = $1.05
--> 2x + $1.00 = $1.05
--> 2x = $0.05
--> x = $0.025
or 2.5 cents



I have no idea why pythonfan emphasizes "'A' cork", and that it was never specified how many corks there are. It was specified; there is one cork.

Status: offline 		you have to think of it backwards: the bottle costs a dollar and 2.5 cents beacuse half of five is 2.5 and the bootle costed $1.00 more than the cork. I know it gets confusing.

I have another one:

How can a person with one eye see more than a person with two?

Status: offline 		An indian taxi driver was being asked questions by a prospective employer to see if he knew english well enough to communicate with passengers.
He asks him: "If I cut out your tongue, what will happen?"
the indian answers "Then I cannot speak."
He asks a "If I gouge out your eyes, what will happen?" he answers: "then I cannot see."
Finally, the employer asks: "And if I cut off your ears, what will happen?"
The indian then answers: "Then I cannot see, or at least have a little trouble in doing so..."

What was his logic?
