    Fuck all you smart arses. Even when I back checked it and found that 10 wasn't right it still seemed right and took a couple of goes to prove to myself that ten simply couldn't be right and that 5 worked properly. Dropped out of school C maths because algebra made no sense to me, but did manage to learn trigonometry (cause that made sense to me)

    Fucking traders. Move along and find some suckers who don't know the real cost of the bat must be under $1.10.

    Dito. When deprived of electronic assistance I usually guess until an answer works. If there's just too many decimals involved I have to resort to paper and special incantations.

    76 cents off eBay for 10 of each.

    Far too much in NZ, but we are supporting local business (who buy it from the same cheap people and that's a great reason for a fucking huge mark up, wankers)

    It's five cents BTW

    Yeah, I'm not so proud that I can't admit it. I was thinking "It's 10c", "No it's not dumbarse, think about it". "Okay. Yup, stil 10c" "You fucking idiot, why would someone post such an obvious question on a forum?" I dunno, maybe he's a retard too? But it's gotta be 10c"

    Wasn't 'till someone posted 5c that I went "Oh yeaaaaahhhhhh...."

    I'm thick.................
