    Like those damn maths ones that you'll get a different answer for if you do the stuff in the brackets first or if you multiply first. They are designed to be abstract and hook you with a line like "99% of you will FAIL". :D

    Yeah, my OH's addicted, got onto one recently where it wouldn't advance you until the correct answer was inserted for the current problem, etc., last I saw she was at over 5,500 correct... :p

    1. A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

    The ball costs 25c. Everyone that said 5c is wrong. Here's why:

    Yes, the Bat & the Ball cost $1.10, but that's a special offer, like how a 4 Pack of Bountys are in Tesco*.

    If you went into Tesco and subtracted the cost of three Bountys from the full cost of what 4 pack costs, in order to find out how much one Bounty was, you'd be laughed at. I know, I've tried it and no how much you appeal to them they will not let you have one Bounty for 2c.

    The Bat costs $1.25 and the Ball costs $0.25c.

    So $1.10 for both is actually a pretty good deal. Just like a Bounty 4 pack.


    *Dealz is actually cheaper at €1.50.
