Perhaps Amazon Engineers Should Read A Math Book?

This was one of Amazon’s Deals of the Day that greeted me in my RSS reader today. What caught my eye was the price. It lists for $150 but it’s yours today for $75, a savings of $19.50? Wait, is that right? Let’s see…subtract the 9…carry the 1…multiply by pi…nope, not right. It’s a savings of $75 or 50%. They got the percent right, but not the amount. Whoops.

On an aside, I have this set and it’s great. They are a bit big and unwieldy to hold, but great if you read them on your stomach in bed or on the floor.
