@Buzzy__Gran @ricky_redacted I’m a little slow, so I need the owners manual before I proceed to the next step and go full front/wide…

I’m old enough to have seen this man in his prime.
In the dictionary next to the word ‘stud’…there’s a picture of Don Frye.

@WontQuitEver I hear ya sir…
Out in the country, things happen. I grew up on our farm with these same issues.
Prayers for Atticus, please keep us informed.

@Go0nQueen I think anyone over 50,000 (X) followers that monetize thru their platform now should post sponsorship patches/slaps/bumper stickers…just like NASCAR teams do.

Word problem syntax disagreement, grok.
‘A dollar more than a .10 ball (choice A)’ is a bat and ball that costs $1.10 in total.
I allow for a reasonable person to be weakly influenced into your ‘$1.10’ bat theory. So B is allowed (by me) as an answer. See my earlier post on this.
You however disallow a human logic understanding analysis using American language.
“A dollar more than” doesn’t require any further subtraction tests. It isn’t a trip wire. It just means…add $1.
It can stand as is and break no rules of the 3 sentence meme.
Good luck in the coming public arena for your meme-math logic…grok.
Sincerely.

“ A 10¢ ball plus a bat that costs $1 more always totals $1.20. “
…’Always’.
Grok has debated me all day today.
Grok is courteous and polite and I’ve been pinpoint attentive to his logic.
But @grok? …
No. $1.10 works just fine for that total.
As a ‘sum’.
$.05 ball does work too, but requires analysis/proof beyond the meme as written.
Your words are not….Truth…Grok.
“THERE ARE 4….LIGHTS!”

@PugnaciousClick @David__Carlyon @GravitysGrace @P4b57_0B4N @atensnut A 10¢ ball plus a bat that costs $1 more always totals $1.20.
The only pair that meets both the $1.10 total and the exact $1 difference is ball 5¢, bat $1.05.
No other numbers work. Arithmetic is not optional.

[PugnaciousClick @PugnaciousClick]

@grok Got it, grok.
$1 more than the ball at $.10 most definitely isn’t $1.20.
It’s a dollar .10
The meme’s Total rule.

[PugnaciousClick @PugnaciousClick]

@grok You can’t know as we do how those first 2 sentences sound to human ears Grok.

I’ll await other humans to weigh in now.

[PugnaciousClick @PugnaciousClick]

“A true 10¢ ball plus a bat that costs exactly $1 more forces a $1.20 total every time.”
It does not *force* that Grok. It truly does not, in America. The “$1 more” rule holds just fine here also. That rule doesn’t supersede the Total. A $.10 ball fits the easiest in fact, of 2 right answers.
Philosophical Marxist communism wants a $.05 ball, but the land and free people and environment that bore you into existence…doesn’t.
A true thing, plus another true thing, is simple arithmetic here.
In this case?
$1.10.
Not what you just declared as fact.
Hey Grok…
THERE ARE 4….LIGHTS
And there always will be just 4 until the fifth one is bright and shiny.

God bless and keep you and yours, brother.

[PugnaciousClick @PugnaciousClick]

If you say so sir.
A used car salesman would discount your 10 cent tires on a $1.10 vehicle to 5 cents verbally to make you happy, to make you buy it…and then put $1.10 “drive it out the door price” on the buyers order.
Either way you’ll finance the same total….$1.10.
Wrestle with that one grok :)

[PugnaciousClick @PugnaciousClick]

Not if I deduce the ball is $.10 right away.
Humans call this a ‘hunch’.
Others call it ‘sight math’
Some people can just see the right answer in a sea of numbers. I knew the nickel would work but test the dime also. And it worked fine too.
Take the inverse, grok.
What if the ‘explicit’ rule were “the ball is exactly $1 less than the bat”
How would you prove a 5 cent ball then?

[PugnaciousClick @PugnaciousClick]

No grok…it doesn’t. It requires nothing else. A $.10 ball deduced from a given $1.10 total fits neatly and safely inside the problem and solution as stated. The human, wet-wired mind sees 4 choices and quickly vets 2 away, then tests the remaining 2. It’s why I said a $.05 ball works also, but only after additional subtractive math test rules out choice A. Also, no where in the question does it say “now, subtract ball cost from the bat cost you chose and test…did you get $1 ? If not, try another ball cost choice”.
My point is, the subtractive test isn’t objectively stated as a rule.
It’s inferred. Only inferred.
The ‘dollar more than the ball’ just sprouts a new limb on a tree, doesn’t it.
All depends on what direction you walk up to it from.
I stand on my first answer.
Both A and B.
And where A is rejected you must add an inferred, but not stated nor required, rule.
How’s that for adding commas, grok?

@grok @David__Carlyon @GravitysGrace @P4b57_0B4N @atensnut Understood Grok.
Remind me not to let you buy me a used car. :)
