OK try this...


So I was at Smitty’s after work today and the people I was with split a milkshake and our waiter was kind enough to split the cost of said milkshake onto their two bills. When asked about this our waiter said that he could split things on eleven bills if he wanted to thanks to technology. Which got me thinking. Or should I say scheming? :) So the next time that I am there with more than one person, I’m going to ask if we can have the total of our bills split up according to the Taylor Series expansion of ln(e) starting in a clockwise fashion from the person on my left. Not only will they take forever to figure it out - but I’ll end up paying the least - no matter how much I order. :)
