Cheaper by the dozen

Jimmy Snyder

There's an item in the store, the price of which is 2 for a dollar. 36 can be had for 2 dollars and 475 will cost you 3 dollars. What is the item?

The cheaper by the dozen DVD because nobody wants to buy it?

BicycleTree

I have seen this before.

DarkEternal

guess: numbers, the metal ones, for house addresses?

Jimmy Snyder

DarkEternal, of course, is correct. And so, probably, is BicycleTree.

i don't get what DarkEternal means...

You know how you can buy the actual numbers to nail up on your house for your address? Let's say each one costs $1.00. Now read what he has up top. The number "2" will cost... $1.00. The numbers "3" and "6" (36) will cost you $2.00. And the numbers "4", "7" and "5" will cost you $3.00.
