Weirdly, my brain went through those numbers as "20, 22, 5, 3, 2."

So they did get you at 3.99 -> 3!

[–] candybrie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe because your brain wanted 5+3+2=10 instead of 5+4+2=11 ?

[–] koberulz@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

20+22+5+3=50 vs 20+22+5+4=51, since I was going left to right, but it works.

How is that "weird"? That's just good numeracy.

I got through a bunch of them fine, then the $3.99 tripped me up.

Ha! That’s what they want.

Now add the sales tax. And don’t forget about bag fees and to tip Tippy.

We don't have any of those things here.
