So I came across a very interesting quiz. So lets see who can get this one...
I go to a food stall and buy a burger, chips and a cool drink.
The drink is $ 0.30 and the burger is & 1.00 more than the chips. So if I paid $ 1.60 for the meal, how much did I pay for the chips?

Correct. I will find out what the conversion is for &
Although that looks like homer rubbing his butt on the carpet, so how much beer can Homer drink with $1?

It depends...
if homer has to pay the each beer he drinks, I don't think much.
But your statement does not clarify the aspect. If the $1 stays in the pocket because he is getting invited then the answer would probably be "infinite"

I like this answer better. &1 could be anything. 1 leg or 1 arm or perhaps a cow?

D + B + C = 160
D = 30
B = C + 100
:=>
30 + (C + 100) + C = 160
2C = 160 - 100 - 30
C = 30 / 2
C = 15

It was so simple I've been reading the question over and over looking for the trick cos I couldn't believe it would have been posted unless there was one.

Some people think of it like this.
$1.60 - $0.30 = $1.30
So if the burger is $1 more the answer is $0.30 because $1.30 - $1 = $0.30 
Sad part is when I asked other people some of them really had that 'logic'...

They'll be OK, I believe all fast food places have tills that work the prices out for you so when they're selling this stuff they shouldn't get it wrong.

Yes, but it would have had to be worded something like:
I need C# code to work out the price of chips.
HELP.

$0.15. It's not that difficult a one to figure out.

It's 15c (I wish I can buy chips for that!) but there's something about that question that provides a strong urge to say 30c. I've got a very similar question wrong in the past by saying the 'obvious' thing.

Make the question even more simple and it might trick more  :
if a meal with a burger and a drink costs $1.10 and the burger costs $1 more than the drink. how much did you pay for the drink?
