Nope, 6.

Somehow 6 mini donuts translates to 2.25 servings.

My guess only guess is that a couple is supposed to eat 2.66666666666666 donuts each and then give the remaining 0.333333333 of each to their baby.

Makes the most sense.

My sandwiches are now 50 calories per serving, with each sandwich having between 10 and 21.75 servings.

Don't do 10 servings. People can do that math too easily. Go with 13.5 servings.

Question- when someone sues someone else and wins a ridiculous amount of money, how do they get paid and where's the money come from?

Philosophical/technical question, unfortunately I haven't won anything from suing anyone. But when I hear of judgements against people who obviously do not have the money they were judged to owe, like civil or criminal suits where someone is ordered to pay a few hundred thousand to their victims, how/when does the person get the money that the defendant doesn't have?

all you can do is put a lien on their personal property. if they dont own anything, you can put a lien on their future earnings.


but you cant get blood out of a turnip

50 is also too easy to multiply.

I'd honestly suggest something like 3.5 with 125 calories each, then you have to start getting into even more decimals.

Oh that's weak. So you're getting some marginal percent of whatever money they're actually reporting off their like $15 an hour top jobs?

Yup. They do a calculation that gives the people money to live off of so you can only get at disposable income. The worst part is when those people change jobs, you have to pay the scumbag attorney more money to garnish their wages at the new job.

I sometimes wonder if society deserves more or less credit. I would like to think most people could guess very close to the total number of calories there in a second or two, either by rounding or basically counting.

Most people will...but they will usually round down.

Oh, 3 times 125 is 375, so it's about 350 calories.

Or, they will round the 125 down to 100, and they still end up at 350 calories.

Whereas the actual amount is closer to 450.

Or people assume companies aren't being shady and say 'oh only X calories, not bad'
