Education & Reference - 20 July 2007

Prior to 1971 and the decimalisation of money,counting up money was a little more difficult,as you had pounds,shillings and pence,so here's a problem.If you went into a shop and bought 4 items costing:
£1 15s 3d
£2 12s 6d
£2 18s 8d
£1 13s 7d
and you paid with a £10 note,how much change would you get back?
Say whether you're under/over 40,and how long it took you to calculate the answer.Iwould expect the over 40's to be quicker as they would once have done this.
PS. There were few if any calculators back then,so many shopkeepers did these calculations in their heads!

OK credit with a few late payments, and $20,000 of credit card debt. $2,000 monthly income after-taxes as a self-employed online index options spread trader. $1,500 after expenses (living with parents). Household income > $90,000.

Is it possible for such a person to get a low interest/intrest-free loan for duration of 12-14 months to pay off their credit cards?

I wanted to know what my chances were for schools like Notre Dame, Northwestern and even some of the ivy leagues. I am a minority (immigrant parents) and a 1320 SAT (hoping to raise it up). My gpa is about the same but of course each school looks at it differently. I have done a lot of community service and two different sports for two years with other clubs and a few other extracurriculars. Also I believe I will write a good essay.

What is up with that? I don't think there is such a thing. Most dog grooming shops train their employees on the job. I think she has an averision to college. She wasn't a good student and was home schooled very poorly later on. Wouldn't it be best to go to a community college to get started with the basics with some computer courses? At least an Adult school with occupational training? That dog gooming thing is not versatile. It doesn't stretch. Her family is not much help. They're misinformed and on the ignorant side. Please help.
