Sorry mate, I did not read all that because you are trying to rehash everything we talked about because you have come to a dead end.

You are avoiding the answer because you by now realised the error you have made but will never admit it.

It a simple question...why refuse to answer?
Unless the answer is not what you would like it to be.

"
You want to buy a pair of shoes... they cost $140.....
There is a progressive discount being offered by the retailer.
If you buy a second pair you will only pay $100 for it.
The shoes are identical in every way as the discount is on two or more of the same item.
You buy two pairs of shoes for $240 online and delivered to your doorstep.

You go for a jog in the park and you mate says...spiffy shoes.... how much did you pay for that pair of shoes?
"

Go.

Just answer the simple question... will take you like 2 seconds.... but instead you chose to write an essay.
This is very telling, avoiding the answer.

Just like you then... I'm done.
Can't have a constructive discussion when people avoid simple answers.
