I was shopping today and the parking spaces next to the
store had a big sign that said "15 minutes only, between
8 a.m. and 9 p.m."
That didnt sound right to me so I multiplied it out and
found the sign was indeed in error. There are in fact
780 minutes between 8am and 9pm. Such an appalling
example of innumeracy caused me to take my trade
elsewhere, for I did not feel I could trust them to make
the right change.
Im going to go back next week, however, for they are
to have a 20% off sale. No telling what prices they may
derive, with those math skills. spike
