So Steve, I reckon those of us that used your ‘quoted’ selling % should also qualify?
Cheers
MelWhoops, a bit slow on the up take![blink]
It is only your thoughts that create your future – Be careful what you think!
I would love to know how Mike came up with the right answer when the question used 2.25%.
Sorry Mel… nice try, but no cigar.
Sadly, the judges decision on this matter is final – however appeals will be heard by the United Confederate of Past Mr & Ms Universe winners. [evo]
Cheers,
Steve

I figured that Steve had made a mistake and just taken 1/4 as being 0.5 and therefore used 2.5% to determine the selling costs.
I agree that -1,505 is technically the correct answer but that wasn’t an option. So like all good accountants I just played with the variable I figured was incorrect.
I do think the person that said -1,505 should get the prize as they are correct.
But Steve (whinge, moan, complain) Mike didn’t use the figures you gave in your question (whinge, moan, complain, grizzle)
Cheers
MelOK – I’ve just checked with the appeals board and someone with a wierd accent said “I’ll be back” if I don’t award two prizes.
So…. 2 books then…
One for Wrap Attack (the first person with the wrong correct answer) and the other for my accounting buddy Aussiemike (the first person with the correct incorrect) [weird].
Congrats.
Don’t let me forget now.
Cheers,
Steve McKnight

Given that I seem to have won and the judges decision is final I would like to award my prize to WrapAttack. At the time of posting they came up with the correct answer.
Ive had to change my clients figures so many times I’m just used to it. Seriously though congrats WrapAttack.
And I don’t want the prize as I would rather see it get auctioned on the site and the proceeds go to charity. I am happy to pay retail for it when it comes out.
Give the book to Mel!
Hey Steve you can’t even give your book away. This is hysterical.
OK – so now we have a charity auction happening for a signed copy of book #2 when it comes out – heck, I’ll also throw in a new product that is about to be released soon too (worth $300) (secret squirrel). Let’s give the proceeds to the Smith Family.
Roll up, roll up… what’s my opening bid?

Auction both books off. I will bid for them… first offer…
$30 FOR EACH!!!
I had to up the offer as I like the Smith Family!!!
Steve,
More than happy for my book to go to Auction as well with the proceeds to the Smith Family. They do a wonderful job. Sounds like a good idea.
Heck – $330 value for $30? Bargain!
Let’s say that the winner will be the highest closing bid at a time I’ve written down (to remain secret) which will occur at some point within the next 24 hours.
Don’t hold back now, this is for a good cause…

Make me feel like a tightass!!!!
OK…
Book 1 – $150
Book 2 – $100Is that more suitable?
It seems like this is a new puzzle. Aussiemike has won the book by correcting an incorrect variable. WrapAttack is the rightful winner by using the correct variables. Initially Aussiemike has won, then wrapattack wins as well. But WrapAttack doesn’t want his book and offers it to Mel or auction. Meanwhile Aussiemike offers his book to WrapAttack and in the meantime Steve is auctioning Wraps book which is really Mels book and Wraps book is Mikes old book. This is a great puzzle Steve.
And Mike’s old book is also being auctioned.
I like it. I think the Auction should go until tomorrow night some time or even Saturday to give everyone a chance to bid.
laugh out loud
yeah… make sense of that new puzzle and you deserve a medal!
Seriously… let’s go team and do something special for charity.

I’ll bid $175 for 1 of the books…..
Good on you Scott!
