Won't work, they'll just enter $5.15 as the amount tended and let the cash register figger the change.
You have to find a place where the cash register isn't working if you want that kind of fun.
I was at a record store once where the cash register stopped working.
They closed the store.
Do you mean all H*mo Sapiens or just Americans?
I'm at the point now where top posting is preferable...
Fill it more than half, and less than max. It's not as if he was paying for it.

Mr. Esteemed RPG Asst. Coordinator - I think you need to go back to elementary school, and take some basic fractions classes - 3/4 of 12 is (by all my calculators) 9, not 7.
So where did the 7 ounces come from?
Have you looked up popinjay in a dictionary?
replied "A half-dozen."
"Dozen" is outmoded? You're comparing "dozen" to "horseless carriage"? Wow.
Probably anyone who just doesn't get enough education for whatever reason or another. Seems pretty common here in the Evil American Empire but it could also be in other places as well.
If it had been me, I would have filled the cup 3/4 up the perpendicular. and then the OP would have argued about it not being enough.
/BAH
I replied "A half-dozen."
Yeah, I thought that was a bit of a stretch too. Last time I looked ('bout 2 hours ago) an egg carton says "One Dozen=20 Eggs" on it. Not very outmoded by grocery standards I guess.
nd I replied "A half-dozen."

Do countries that use the Metric System use "dozen"?
How are eggs sold in Europe?

Do countries that use the Metric System use "dozen"?
How are eggs sold in Europe? ======================================== In cartons of 4, 6, 10, 12 and 15. "Free range" "organic" cost twice as much as "barn" (actually caged) eggs.
Androcles your situation is now better than you thought
Andro, Here is your Doppelganger, CBS, Charles Bert Schreiber, charlesbert snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com This dude is so radical he makes you look like a pussy. Get in touch with him and then you 2 guys can redo Physics as we know it. ... Right up you alley! Unlike you, CBS has good communication skills and he could make the narrative for your spread sheets and you pictures, and in exchange you could make the illustrations for this tripe. Together, you 2 then can sell you tripe-combo more successfully than you have failed to do so far alone and spearately. Here is you man:
You forgot your radical maniacal laughter. Where's your doppelganger Savain got to, he should be mumbling about the matrix by now? He makes you look like a wussy. Get in touch with him and then you 2 guys can redo physics as only you know it. ... right up your back passage!

So I rounded down a little bit. I am the RGP Asst. Coordinator, and I can get away with that s*it.

replied "A half-dozen."
Yeah, but those are probably Imperial eggs rather than metric ones. Nuff said.

I suppose that would depend to whom you're selling the eggs. If it's the king, it would be a baker's dozen.

It's called "estimating".
Evidently you've never been in a kitchen.
You mean, we don't want to do as you're doing? I concur with that.
With a nym like "popinjay", what should we expect?
Thanks, Rich
seven & four-fifths tenths of the time, tenths'll do it.
thus: has anyone applied surreal numbers to Cantor's diagonalization?... as I recall, it is an application of Dedikind's Cut of the "real number line."
thus: so, what holds the electron & the positron together?... your assertion of a dipolar moment seems to imply that they are co-orbital; so, what holds them apart?... nice stab at an aether!
thus: doesn't follow "logically;" of what necessity is a "sea of positrons," if, by that, you are meaning what others call "the vacuum?"
however, noting that 2.8 is about the second root of eight (or two times the second root of two), it still might make an interesting gedanken, to show the properties of this "sea," if it can be constrained from combining with the electrons in the 99.nines per cent of matter that is plasma.
I agree, that "quarks" are really an indivisible symmetry of some fundamental quanta (which seems to agree with the mainstream data/theory), and it is good to try to explain gravity beyond Kepler's orbital constraints, unlike Newtonism.
thus: the amuzement is that the projective plane is the same as the mobius strip, properly considered; I hint.

thus: "the consortium" of newspapers reported, a full year after the fact, that Gore would have won
*in a full recount.* what I don't recall, if any of those three papers, bothered to note that Gore could have *asked* for a full recount-- it was that close -- instead of bringing the first suit for a partial birth choice.... when the desideratum is the actual "intent of the voters," as legislated in Texas under His Shrubness, the condition of the chad shall be fully noted -- a-hem!
thus: here is an etymology of THE PHOTON: photoelectrical effect "hits" measuring device, "ballistically" imparting its momentum of one quantum (per Planck h-bar) at some frequency; the bug is a feature, proven statistically by Bose (lies, polls, statistics !-)

Yes. The word 'dozen' comes from the French 'douzaine'.
You simply tack 'aine' onto the end of the number:
10 = dix -> dixaine 12 = douze -> douzaine 20 = vingt -> vingtaine 100 = cent -> centaine They do use these terms. Unfortunately, the English language doesn't have such a system.In Europe, you can get eggs packed in 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24,
