【It is said that this is a problem that 99% of engineers get wrong.】 Question: A couple went together to buy a piece of cake. The girl ate 3/7 of the cake, while the boy ate the remaining 4/7 of it. Boys have 4.5 yuan more than girls. How much is this pie worth?

There can be infinitely many answers to this question... For example, the boy might not have enough money, so he asks the girl to chip in a little; or the boy might not have any change, and since the shopkeeper can’t give any back, he asks the girl to provide some change... ;P;P;P

31.5, such a simple question. How could anyone get it wrong?

Since they are lovers rather than spouses, it’s only natural that the man takes on the physical task of paying the bill.

Obviously, this is rather arbitrary of you – having to split the cost for just a pancake?

4.5 Paid for by the man

Obviously 4.5. . . . . . . . Ah! :L
