Bat = ball + 1 Bat + ball = 1.10 Ball + 1 + ball = 1.10 2ball = 0.10 Ball = 0.05

To get the answer right spontaneously your brain has to work differently than everyone else brain. This is because in those kinds of problems, the mind automatically looks for a simplified way and the straight up way the humanbrain is programmed says that it must be .10. That is attribute substitution. If a reasonably intelligent person thinks for a minute or two, they will get .05, but it isn't apparent at first.
Spontaneously its a brain buster, but thought out it is a kiddie problem. What a paradox.
But look out for Pris, he's my man. He's also a Literary Critic, a master of the English language, and Joe Bull Stud of the Shroomery.

Right on. that was the gist of the problem as I explained in my last post. I got it wrong too, by the way, the first time.

because the bat is a dollar more than the ball, the ball...has to be 5 cents, because 5 cents more is ten cents. (ha, i am only just barely getting this through)
(it's nagging that i can't phrase this better...a dollar more...than the ball...the ball (to an answer) is either ten cents, off the bat, which is wrong, because the bat being a dollar more would make sum total greater than the given 1.10 amount, given that a dollar more than the ball, would be a dollar and ten cents, which clearly, along with the ball, makes the sum total 1.20, not 1.10 as a given. so the ball must be 5 cents. that's the best i can do i think i fucking did it. *lights imaginary cigarette*)
that is the only way my simple math can deduce this. but it's funny though...and i think i get it. but not everything that goes into this equation...not literally.

1.10$ = Bat and Ball (the Bat is a dollar more than the Ball -- how much is the Ball?) the ball can't be ten cents, because adding up the bat & the ball, while the bat is a dollar more (than the ball) would make the sum total greater than the given 1.10$ amount, given that, within the sum total, a dollar more than the ball would be a dollar plus the ball's price (the ball's price doubling as you add the bat's price to the ball's), which clearly, makes the sum total 1.20$, not 1.10$; as a given; so the ball must be 5 cents.
does this goddamn make any sense, or did i get there through sheer force of idiocy?
it's still not right.
there, fixed.

The little house on Hills drive is about a mile, but that only means that that part of Hills drive is a mile away. It is impossible to say how far other parts of hills drive are from Towns street, in the limit there an infinite number of answes. 
(If they aren't parallel streets OF equal length.)

If you say a house is on road A and the house is mile from road B, you are saying that the intersection of road A and road B is a mile away.

i fixed my...erm...proposition. (obvious answer is obvious -- yes, you have the simplified answer. if the bat is a dollar more than the ball, and the sum total is 1.10$, the answer should be obvious -- here's why....)
Quote:
1.10$ = Bat and Ball (the Bat is a dollar more than the Ball -- how much is the Ball?) the ball can't be ten cents, because adding up the bat & the ball, while the bat is a dollar more (than the ball) would make the sum total greater than the given 1.10$ amount, given that, within the sum total, a dollar more than the ball would be a dollar plus the ball's price (the ball's price doubling as you add the bat's price to the ball's), which clearly, makes the sum total 1.20$, not 1.10$; as a given; so the ball must be 5 cents.

koods look at my answer above. you are on the right track. The problem is that only the distance at one point is know--from the house on hill drive to townsville street. If they aren't of equal length and parallel then there are an infinite number of solutions in the limit.

a mile is not an exact length, it's a determination of length and/or space correlated.
