An actual question from a local third grade exam:

A bottle of sprite cost $2
But you can return either 2 empty bottles or 4 bottle caps for a free one
You have $10
How many bottles of sprite can you drink?

me neither

$10 nets you 5 bottles
You can return 4 bottles and 4 bottle caps to get 3 more (4 empty bottles and 4 bottle caps which you can return to get 3 more, at which point you have 3 bottles and 3 bottle caps, so you can get 1 more bottle which gives you 2 bottles and 4 bottle caps so you can get 2 more which leaves you two empty bottles and 2 bottle caps which you can return for 1 more which gives you 1 empty bottle and 3 bottle caps.
So that's uh 15

The question is incomplete, sir. How many fl. oz. are these Sprite bottles?

I believe you mean frdm. oz. sir.
And the answer is 40.

It's 32oz in FL, so that's why we use fl. oz. instead of frdm. oz. here. :|

As a marijuana cigarette smoking ghost doctor king of philosophy, I can confirm this.

Unacceptable! Contact your local representative and demand your state immediately switch to the frdm. oz. unit of measurements.

@OP
are you talking 20 oz bottles?

I normally drink about three bottles of sprite to every 16 oz bottle of 190 proof booze..

I am too tired for maths right now...and I have to work tonight..

I've wrote my state's representatives and Govenor, but nothing changes, I don't get anything more than an automated response. :/

...It's time to take manners into your own hands. You need to order a crate of sharpies and apply for a job at the nearest bottling facility.

That sounds more reasonable than firebombing them I guess.

While you're at it, you can use your access to add some LSD to the mix. Everybody wins!

Sorry, I don't want to dip into our LSD stockpile until after the animal shelter operation.
