A dress store owner ordered a shipment of evening gowns for his shop. When they
arrived, the poor man found there had been a mistake. Half the garments were
coats, 20 percent were children's sizes and 24 of the garments were both coats
and in sizes for children. There were only 99 of the evening dresses he had
ordered. How many had he ordered initially?

I can solve the puzzle. Can you?


Yes, of course I can


Please solve the puzzle and post your answer.



Nope. You asked if I could. I said I can. The burden of proof is
now on your side.


Okay. I guess this seems like proof that you can't solve the puzzle. You are
also now a proven liar, since you said you could solve the puzzle, and now it
has been proven that you can't. Case closed, unless you immediately post the
correct answer to the puzzle. If you do, I will apologize.



Nope. Doesn't prove anything except that I am not going to give you
the answer to the puzzle.


I don't need the answer to the puzzle. I can figure it out myself. The point
here is that YOU can't figure out the puzzle. IT's not a matter of you won't,
it's a matter of you CAN'T, you moronic ****.


Ah, we get to the name calling. Now you've proven just exactly what
you are. And I do know the answer.
