The Ball and Bat question is a trick question, not something that any person without knowledge of Math Economics would guess no matter the time you give them to think because. the Setting of the question is Logical and the answer is not. Clearly if they use this question it is because it's a trick……i dont like math, but cant remember learning things like that in school, illogical results. It's not because we are lazy, it's a trick question the requires knowledge of the subject
Ball and Bat example , It's not because we are lazy, it's a trick question that requires knowledge of the subject.
