Havard students get near-perfect SAT scores. These are smart, smart kids. So they shouldn't have trouble with a simple logic question, right?
Try the following puzzle:
A bat and ball cost $1.10.
The bat costs one dollar more than the ball.
How much does the ball cost?

Doesn't anyone know?
A nickle, it must be made by Chinese slave labor. $.05 ball + $1.05 bat = $1.10 Total
$.05 ball + $1.05 bat = $1.10 Total You forgot to add in the American taxpayer subsidies so that it can be made by people in another country...
“We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammunition box.”
True cost to the U.S. taxpayer = $3,207.65 per ball or $6,415.30 for a "pair"
A what? Did you pass spelling in 4th grade, hondope?
pass spelling in 4th grade You could buy a Coke for a nickel when I was in the fourth grade. Now they're only worth a nickle, which will only buy ya a Chinese ball.
Jimmie had a nickel...didn't have it long...
