I've asked two people about this and so far, none can give a reasonable answer. I'll post the situation here and hopefully some of you can unravel this mystery!
One fine afternoon, PAUL and MARTY decided to go eat together. Halfway through the journey, PAUL decided to stop by a petrol station. PAUL got out of the car, and told the worker there, "TWENTY DOLLARS please." Then PAUL proceeded to pump the petrol manually.
MARTY, being the nice guy that he is offered to help PAUL fork out the TWENTY DOLLARS. PAUL was fine with that. PAUL said to himself, "You qian lai wo dan ran shou ah!"
After the petrol is pumped, they went to a restaurant. When they were done, PAUL offered to pay for the whole meal, which costs TWENTY DOLLARS. MARTY was fine with that. MARTY says to himself, "You qian lai wo dan ran shou ah!"
The question I wanna ask is, did PAUL lose or saved money that day? STRICTLY speaking about money. No emotional values. No "Oh he fetched Marty worrr" and stuff like that. I'm talking strictly about money only. Did he save some or lose some?

Paul saved some. he saved his lunch.
but paul paid for the lunch wor
assuming the whole trip's petrol cost is rm20, then noone gained, or lost a cent. lower than that, paul gained. paul gained at lunch, assuming his and marty's bills combined is rm20, u get what im trying to say?
dam you paul you lost
paul looses ten bucks for paying marty's meal?
No one gained.
Free Petrol (+20).
Paying Marty's lunch (-10).
20-10 = (+10)
Paul gained extra 10 bucks.

Assuming the trip cost RM20 (half way) ..
the total petrol cost is RM40 (half way through the journey)..
plus , you need to calculate the journey to drop Marty home and getting paul himself back home
Paul Lose money on that day
i pawn you all noobs
If Marty were not paying for the petrol, Paul himself still have to pay for it. Means anyhow he got an extra 20 bucks.
i have to get one thing across first. the reason i wrote this post is cause i myself don't even know the answer.
i myself think that the question has flaws. and lastly, i'm leaning more towards "paul earned money"
EH EH GUYS! its time to move over to a new post! dont revel in the past!
