yup I'd imagine it probbaly does, but not as a need to convert it into a different currency I don't think.
theres gotta be a reason that one is $2.49 but theres also 129 cents |

When I read "Lateral thinking question", I thought it had something to do with the corners of the picture. And I saw a boobie.
I'm too happy to do any math :( |

This is as close as i get...
90 x 3 = 270 (ninety * three cents)
50 x 5 = 250 (fifty * five cents)
49 (two dollars and "49 cents") -> breaks the rule
180 (one hundred and "twenty * nine cents")
= 749 |

747 is as close as i can get...
90x3 = 270
249 cents = 2 x 49 = 98
129 cents
50 x 5 = 250
sum = 270 + 98 + 129 + 250 = 747 |

i don't know, for some reason i don't think it would have to do with multiplying all those numbers literally (like 55c meaning 50*5)
the only one that makes sense of those is the ninety three cents, due to the fact that to correctly write it would be ninety-three cents if you truly meant 93.
i always thought those call in quizzes were supposed to be easy, not these crazy riddles :whip: |

i actually googled it a bit and a ton of people just bitch at how all the correct answers for these quizzes sound like they were completely pulled out of the ass, and they never explain how to do it.
which i guess would make you people right if you were to have to do all that, since many people say that all the solutions make no sense. so i apologize to you and i give up :o |
