    I had once an error in high school... 1x1 = 2 And the best was that in the revision, when I asked where I had the error the teacher went over my calculations twice without noticing it. She had to do it herself on paper, and when she arrived at the point, we both did a :doh: :doh: :doh: at the same time. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

    Now, I cannot believe an engineer could do that. Being a physicist, of course I can. :-D

        :thumbsup: In the hopes of sooner or later it sinks in. One would think the 'money' person at said business should be the most skilled at the money (the purpose of the business to begin with). More than once I've been given too much change back, I've told the person this and had to darn near argue with the person before they realized their mistake. Only once did they utterly refuse to believe me, at which point I kept the extra cash and walked out.

        That's when I'd say "if you ever open a bank, I want to be your first customer." Of course that's only if they can only make mistakes in your favor. Otherwise I'd want nothing to do with that bank. OTOH, I know someone who worked as a cashier in a tiny local store. One day they had a sale. Customer bought two items, one at 30% off, the other at 40% off. Cashier totaled the two items, then applied a 70% discount...

            I don't believe so. But that cashier had been fired long before that.
