comment left by Terri W:
A couple of weekends ago, I went to a local garage sale and the kid manning the booth had his EM math journal sitting right on the table next to him ... and couldn't give me change from a 10 for a 6.50 purchase.

The winner on last night’s Teen Jeopardy was unable to give the correct answer to a question that asked how much a dress would cost if it was marked 20% off the original price of $80.
Been there, done that.
