Is there a sale when you purchase both?
Are taxes included or is it a private sale?
If I donate my old bat and ball, can I use the tax refund against my purchase to determine actual net cost?
Is the ball/bat black and blue or gold and white?

For anyone that wants to learn WHY we make these cognitive choices.

If you could use the bat to bash in the presidential candidate of your choice's face, could you then trade the ball for enough nickels to escape the coming social disorder?
I think not, therefore the question is irrelevant, and you should really be asking why the Koch brothers are funding Leonardo DiCaprio's films. Open your eyes people.

What surprises me is that approximately half of Harvard students got it wrong. Princeton was closer to 55% MIT was closer to 43%.
The mind is surprisingly weak when given simple questions worded in a specific manner.
Psychologists are trying to figure out why. The main argument seems to be that people who are in academia tend to be self reinforced into believing they always know the correct answer as the first one that comes into their head. Instinctively, the mind usually says dime. Normal people see it as a riddle and not question, and therefore - think about it much longer with the intent that there is somehow a "trick" in the question, which there sort of is.
Reason for question: Trump and Hillary seem to both be in self reinforced delusion, and I'm pretty sure many other normal people are starting to see it.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

I also get the feeling that Trump would fail the "Three men rent a room" question.

Which would make him the most easily manipulatable president in recent history.

I'd be interested to see what the departemental breakdown of the respondents was. I have a math and physics background. I did not see it as anything but a math equation. Im willing to bet any Harvard or MIT student with the same background would solve it as a math problem without having to even write it down like my slow ass did.Originally posted by ZenOps

I purchased in Alberta
The ball was $0.03
The bat was $1.03
GST on $1.06 was $0.05
Total cost was $1.11
I paid in cash so $1.10
The bat now hangs in the closet. Now I need to go find insects to feed my bat.

The kind of people that watch the View and go "uh huh..." Those unfulfilled people who try to fill the void in their empty lives by writing whiny letters to the editor complaining about shit that no one really cares about?
Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
