...this problem is far beyond my pay level. Reminds me of a story

A man spoke to each of his 3 sons when he sent them off to college...

"I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die."

And so it happened. His sons became a doctor, a lawyer and a financial planner, each very successful financially. When their father's time had come, and they saw their father in the coffin, they remembered his wish.
First, the doctor put 10 newly printed crisp $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.
Then, the financial planner also put $1,000 there in 20 newly printed crisp $50 bills.
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He reached into his pocket, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash

Zim: Bob gained $10 (Got $30 for a box he only put $20 in.)
Zim: Fred lost $10. (Paid $30 for a box he only put $20 in.)


Ribit > ...but they is $40 in the box so ?


Zim : OK. Bob put $20 in the box. Got $30 From Fred . . . Bob turned $20 into $30 - he is up $10.

. . . . . .Fred PAID $30 for the box containing $40. Given that Fred put $20 into the box means that Fred paid $50 for a box containing $40. Fred lost $10.

Zim.
