Let’s fire up the brain neurons this morning. Try the following simple puzzle:
A bat and ball cost $1.10.
The bat costs one dollar more than the ball.
How much does the ball cost?
More than 50% of Harvard, MIT and Princeton students gave the incorrect answers. (Noted that Dad, Mom, Rachel were wrong. Eric nailed it. Mom blamed Dad for asking the question poorly which led to a argument. Mom claiming this is additional evidence that Dad has a mumbling problem. TMI.)
