    This one sounds to me like our joke about different schoolsystems The Question for the "Hauptschule" (goes from 5th to 9th class / mostly lazy and not that intelligent ppl)

    A Farmer sells a sack of potatoes for 50€. The production costs are 40€. Calculate the yield.

    "Realschule" (goes from 5th to 10th class / the "normal" ppl)

    A farmer sells a sack of potatoes for 50€. The production costs are 4/5 of the revenues. How high is the farmers yield?

    "Gymnasium" (goes from 5th to 13th/12th class / the "intelligent" ppl)

    An agrarian economist sells a set of subterral fieldfruits for a set of money (G).
    G has the cardinal number 50. For the elements g of the set G applies g = 1,00€. The set of production costs (H) is 10(cardinal numbers) less than set G. Draw a figure of the set H as partial set of G und and give the cardinal number of the set E for the Question :
    How high is the yield E of the agrarian economist in units of g?

    "Waldorfschule" (Mostly ppl that are not able to concentrate)

    A farmer sells a sack of potatoes for 50€. The production costs are 40€. The yield is 10€.
    Task: Underline the word potatoes and sing a song to it.

    :) I hope my translation is not that bad so you get the message :rolleyes:

    if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

      What you do not realise is according to the internet 50% of the people at MIT and Harvard got it wrong when asked this If a bat and ball costs $1.10 and the bat is $1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost? :laugh:

            The original question was exactly that. with a bat and ball. So i thought I'd do a social experiment and make it a bit more difficult to see if they fall much easier for a simple or a bit more complex question. :)

                Yes, but it would have had to be worded something like: I need C# code to work out the price of chips. HELP. PLZ.

                  So I came across a very interesting quiz. So lets see who can get this one... I go to a food stall and buy a burger, chips and a cool drink. The drink is $ 0.30 and the burger is & 1.00 more than the chips. So if I paid $ 1.60 for the meal, how much did I pay for the chips? :cool:

                  You are all wrong, the chips are 20c: When he bought all 3 it was a combo, so the drink was discounted by 10c
