Gloria Goodbody, opened her own clothing store called 'The Wrap'. She wasn't sure about pricing certain items so she devised her own method.

At 'The Wrap', a vest costs 20 pounds, socks cost 25 pounds, a tie costs 15 pounds and a blouse costs 30 pounds.

Using Gloria's pricing scheme, how much would a pair of underwear cost?

---

45 pounds. 5 pounds a letter.

I'm going to give that to you, even though it's the wrong currency. :D

Art Conn tore one paper match out of a matchfolder, threw it in the air, and noticed that it landed on its side.

Art continued to pick up the same match, toss it in the air, and each time the match landed on its side. Hardy Pyle, who was standing nearby, could no longer contain his curiosity so he walked over and asked Art what he was doing. Art explained that 26 out of 26 times, the match landed on its side.

Hardy looked at Art and exclaimed, "Of course it lands on its side; a regular paper match always will." Art smiled and said "Hardy, I'll bet you 100 pounds that if I give you this match and you throw it in the air, it will land on its edge."

Would this be a good bet for Hardy to take?


__________
Hardy shouldn't take the bet. When Art handed Hardy the match, he bent it. When a paper match is bent it will always land on its edge and when it's straight it will always land on its side.

yes it would be a good bet. the side is a lot wider than the edge even if it were to land on its edge it would actually fall over to its side

This is the only question I remember from actually playing the game. Alas, the chivalric code bars me from answering although I know the answer. Darn.

Cool. No, it's a bad bet to take because Art would bend the match before giving it to Hardy ensuring that it falls on its edge.

No, Art Conn (wonder if he's a relative?) will bend the match which will make it land on it's edge.
