Number problems...

[Jugernot]

Anyone know one of those word problems where it's something like:

You start out with $30, you give two people $15 each and then, they pay $6 each for a soda. Then, they each find $2, then give $22 to a friend.

Anyway, this doesn't make sense. But I remember someone posted a one of these that you came up with a number like $1 left after going through the whole word problem. Logically it should have been 0.

Any ideas?

$15 to each person, - $6, +$2, = 2 * $11 per person = $22 left over.

They each start with 15, they spend 6, that leaves them with 9. Each person finds 2, and if you doulble that, it's 22...

I guess you guys don't understand, I was just giving an example of the type of work problem I was looking for... It was completely made up.

Dunno, I just remember someone posted a problems one time where the logic answer was a remainder of $0, but if you write it out on paper the answer was $1. I don't remember what the problem was...
