Here's the current Mind Game
You've just purchased your first new home. When you arrive to begin moving in, you discover that the builder forgot something. Being a self-reliant sort of person, you decide to finish the job yourself. You stroll down to the local hardware store and find exactly what you need at a price you can afford. The store charges perfectly reasonable prices for the items: 7 will cost $1, 10 will cost $2, 100 will cost $3. As it happens, you need 880, which also costs $3. What did the builder forget?
