My daughter Mercury passed along a good puzzle over Thanksgiving. I'll delete the story and just put the math question: Find prices for 4 items that total to $7.11, and that also multiply to 7.11. Implicit side conditions: no sales tax, all prices a positive whole number of cents, product exact. If you solve it, please delay posting the answer till Thursday morning, to give others a chance to work on it. Rich rcs@cs.arizona.edu
