"Suppose you have two numbers. The difference of the two numbers is 12. The product of the two numbers is 17. Multiply the larger of the two numbers by 100, add 50 times the smaller number to that, round the total to the nearest whole number, and that's my price."

I think the two numbers are 13.28 and 1.28
13.28 x 1.28 = 16.998 (which rounded is 17) for the product
13.28 - 1.28 = 12 (so the difference is correct)
Therefore-:
100 x 13.28 = 1328, then
50 x 1.28 = 64
1328 + 64 = 1392 (I think that must be his price....)

17 is a prime number. Multipliable by 1 and itself. The difference of 1 and 17 can't be 12.
I think you are crazy.
