    this is a very practical riddle to understand

    always subtract the negligable amount from the original total

    for instance:

    i'm splitting a bill with manny but owe him 30 bucks

    500 bill

    divided by 2 = 250 each

    normally one would think i should just tack 30 to mine and subtract 30 from his.

    but that actually =s 60

    to only pay 30 more you subtract it from the original number and then divide it by 2

    blah blah blah - i just saved you hundreds.
