Interesting Math Problems

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

Alan and Burt would go get the crack and Carl would stay to protect their shopping carts and boxes. Burt bought 75 rocks of crack behind the bus station and Alan bought 45 rocks. Once they got back to the bridge, they split the rocks equally. Carl paid $140 for the crack. How much dollars did
Burt and Alan get from that sum, considering they equally split the crack?
Assuming the split is also even for the rocks for each; then:

Each get 25 rocks from burt and 15 from Alan.

140/40= 3.50 each rock.

3.50x25= 87.50 for Burt
3.50x15= 52.50 for Alan

And yet that isn't the answer. And its your job to figure out why.

why does no one try to solve mine?
Did Carl pay $140 for all the crack or just his 40 rocks?
just his share.
Burt gets $122.50 & Alan gets $17.50
damn. That's really good.
Is this a test you give your corner boys?

It is if my first statement is true. If you assume Burt gave 35 of his to reach 40 and Alan gave 5 then its 122.50, and 17.50. But you didn't clarify how they divided the rocks. So as I said, if it is distributed evenly.

The difference is that yours is not an equitable split of the money. Which is what makes yours wrong.

It is though. If you throw all the rocks in a pile you divy them up 15 each from Alan and 25 from burt. It's like burt and Alan traded theirs that they already paid for. So burt got paid for the 25 he paid for and Alan got the paid for the 15 he paid for. But even still you didn't say equitable split of money. You said if they equally split the crack. In my example they equally split the crack. So I satisfied your terms

What you did not satisfy was my terms. which was "an equal split". Giving Alan $52.50 and Burt $87.50 is unfair. That is too much money for Alan and not enough for Burt to make it fair.

so you honestly think that equally splitting the crack and then just randomly divying up the money is the solution that someone was looking for? Why not give Alan $100 and Burt $40 and call it a good deal? I mean, if just making sure they each got 40 rocks of crack is all that is important. Then just give each 40 rocks and then have a blind draw for the money.

You gave the wrong answer. I know its impossible for you to understand you can be wrong, but when a person is wrong about a math question, its simply wrong. You can't argue it to be right.

I can absolutely admit when I'm wrong, when I am. And have several times, on this board even. But I met your terms. Because you phrased your question poorly is on you not me. And I purposely solved it that way, because of your phrasing. Hyper already solved it, but I knew you in your current liberal emotional phase would lose his shit like you're currently doing. Fun times all around.

so you honestly think that equally splitting the crack and then just randomly divying up the money is the solution that someone was looking for? Why not give Alan $100 and Burt $40 and call it a good deal? I mean, if just making sure they each got 40 rocks of crack is all that is important. Then just give each 40 rocks and then have a blind draw for the money.

You gave the wrong answer. I know its impossible for you to understand you can be wrong, but when a person is wrong about a math question, its simply wrong. You can't argue it to be right.
I can absolutely admit when I'm wrong, when I am. And have several times, on this board even. But I met your terms. Because you phrased your question poorly is on you not me. And I purposely solved it that way, because of your phrasing. Hyper already solved it, but I knew you in your current liberal emotional phase would lose his shit like you're currently doing. Fun times all around.

And apparently you'll go to any lengths to "prove" you weren't duped and you phrased your question piss poorly.

Let me guess, you're sitting there pouting thinking, he can't possibly dupe me, I'm smarter than him. He knows I meant equal money even though I typed equal rocks. Hrmmph.

I didnt get the wrong answer. I solved it according to your faulty wording, but carry on how you think you wrote it correctly.
