What kind of stupid pricing is that? He'd be better off buying 300 for £9.00. He'll have 90 left over (he could return them back to the store for 9 x £2.00 ). As for what is it... I'm guessing nails since he needs so many (if that is it, I would also advise him to sue the builder).

@nord, its the numbers on the front of his house, and it will cost him 3

way off track.....

I sense cheating

No I was sitting there thinking what in the crap would he need like 210 for, then when you said it wasn’t 8 for the price I was like huh?...then I noticed the big diff b/t the price of the 7 and the price of the 10 compared to the price of the 10 to the price of the 100 and it clicked that its was not a hundred for 3 it was a 1, 0,0

I guessed on the numbers but I figured he only needed three of something and house 210 sounded like a good guess

good job! I was just shocked by the quick turnaround on your answer.

Assuming the current year is 2008 (since you didn't get a year with the problem)

then you would have

girl - 2004, 4yo

grandmother - 1954, 54yo

@nord don't kid your self it was a lucky guess more then anything i only figured out half of it and shot the rest from the hip

@nord
That`s it! I was like 12 when someone first asked me that one! I went crazy! And the question wasn`t using the courrent year. It was using 1938. The girl was 19 and the grandmother was 76. Not hard at all after all this years...

How do you cheat in thinking? Knowing the answers in advance?
