Amos and Malik are both travelling from Allanak to Luirs. Amos's war beetle can walk 40 leagues in an hour, but then it must rest for 3/4 of an hour. Malik's sunback can walk at a speed of 60 leagues an hour, but it must stop to rest every 20 leagues for an additional 1/3 of an hour. Who will cover the 67 leagues first?
Amos in about 2 1/2 hours.
Amos in a little over 2 hours.
Malik in a little over 2 hours.
They will tie.

Agent Silkypants Kadius is trying to outsell Merchant Cartelpants Kurac. Both have a cask of liquor they want to move. Silkypants' cask of Firestorm's Flame cost him 272 'sid and contains 2.5 gallons. Cartelpants is selling his cask of Firebreather, which holds 3 gallons, for 350 'sid. Can Silkypants undercut the Kuracis and still make a profit on his booze?
No, he can't compete.
Yes, by selling it for 290 'sid.
Yes, by selling it for 500 'sid.
Yes, by asking for a discount from his supplier.

Snaggletooth the 'rinth rat is in deep shit. A Templar is demanding 150 'sid to let him out of prison, but he doesn't have any money. If his alley boss will give him a half small to service his contacts, but pays him 10 'sid less each time, how many times must he do the deed before his debt to the boss is paid off?
Four ginka sandwiches.
Five ginka sandwiches.
One sloppy ginka sandwich.
He's going to die in prison.

Talia the Raider has a band of 6 thugs. Her band can overpower a caravan of 4 people every six and a half hours, and steal 200 'sid from each person. If the Byn sent to stop her will take 3 days to arrive, will she have enough raiding time to be able to pay her people the half large each she promised them?
No, her band will be taking their fee out of her hide.
Yes, and be able to pay herself as well.
Yes, but she will only make 100 'sid.
This is a false equivalency. You can't raid in Armageddon.

Malik has a stanglehold on the business of trading gently used weapons to the tribals. He tells Amos he wants a bundle of seven fancy bone swords, right away. If it will cost Amos 2 gallons of water at 89 'sid each, 4 travel cakes at 4 'sid each, and two stable visits at 20 'sid each to get the stock, how much money must he beg out of Malik for each sword to recoup his costs?
The cost of the sword plus 33 'sid.
The cost of the sword plus 34 'sid.
He should steal the swords from Salarr and charge 50 'sid each.
This is a non issue.
