Mekong Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I often use real world examples...a one liter bottle of milk is 44 Baht...a larger, two liter bottle is 89 Baht...if I buy two, two liter bottles, which is cheaper...I see the results running 50/50 (correct/incorrect)...requires thinking! Cav Is this a trick Question? The the 1 Liter Bottle is irrelevant since you purchased 2 of 2 Liter Bottles at THB 89 per bottle therefore neither was cheaper they were both the same price.

The one litre for 44 bht is cheaper, both the two litre @ 89 bht and the two, two litres @ 178 bht are more expensive :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Ahh typo - but the one litre is still cheaper. What I think we mean is "which is cheaper, per litre", not just "which is cheaper" No wonder they're confused :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioman Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I prefer simpler questions to test Thai thought process. A cowboy rides into town on Thursday. Stays three nights. Leaves on Thursday. How long is he in town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Three Nights even though Thursday is a strange name for a horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
