when I started reading this forum, I was a young man with a spark in my eyes. Now, I am old and do not care anymore about anything, this thread has aged me beyond my years. Humbug.
But seriously, I need a drawing, to explain this word problem of a story. This is like 8 grade math.
Bobby has a Duo that may or may not work, Johnny has a hankering for a PS3, Bobby sends $250 and sends Johnny a PS3 from Dell.com, you get mad Duos, and you know how to fix them, or your sister does, and you received one from an inheritance. You pay your sister $30, or the going rate to fix a Duo, to fix the Duo or Duos, and then they work or do not work and you throw or do not throw them out. Johnny proceeds to play CDR and they ruin the laser, and you throw away the Duo. Bobby harasses Johnny, and both parties hire a lawyer at $250 per hour. you then have to sell your games to presumably live. Also, you make a posting to try and recoup 25% of your cost.
Question: How much time have you wasted reading all of this?
Solution: There is no God.
