<< here's a story problem:
0. a train travels south at 140km/h
1. a guy walks into a bar, meets friends
2. drinks a lot of alcohol
3. eats grub, drinks more
4. gets bill for $71.17
5. puts a tip of $18.83 on credit card paper
6. writes $100 on "total" line instead of $90
Q: What is his credit card charged?
A: The answer in a month or so.
>>
no need to wait a month, i'll drop a little knowledge now.
list of possible answers:
A) $100
B) $90
C) Nothing if you used someone else's credit card
D) Nothing if you call the company and claim it wasn't you (technically, if
drunk, it wasn't you--don't let ethics interfere here, this could be a big
windfall for you=-)
E) $100 plus the knowledge that some poor waiter/tress just got another
10spot to help with the bills
F) $100 and a big bruise on your ass from where you've been kicking yourself.
