0 Guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 not sure about your wording, but, $3 a bunch (2+ in a bunch), if he sells them each for $2 he has to make profit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 soop Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 he probably ripened the bananas too, because no-one likes buying a new banana and waiting 4 days until it's ready to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 My take on this:He was buying Lots in an auction, at $3 a lot of bunches, and he sold them on as $2 a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 peace*out Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Please post these dumb word games in some other threaad......... This one is supposed to be for solid math/logic puzzles...... Sum1 plz intervene.......... this is logic... Did you have to think to get the answer? I would lable it as a logic puzzle because we're not trying to find "what am I" or similar things. It's logic to get this. And if you think it should be in another forum that's fine. PLEASE don't call it dumb - we try to respect each other's thoughts on here.
