CHEAT! by rehsamsevoL Lovesmasher
April 16th, 2008 11:44 AM / Location: 41.903926,-87.66504to use the fact that i signed up for tasks above my level at the start
of the era, but SOMEONE had to screw that up. So, here's the second
(better of course) idea:
So, there is this toll road that i have to take to get from Boston
to Worcester, and the tolls collected support highway infrastructure
and supported the Boston Big Dig. The problem is that corrupt people
had been dipping their hands into the cookie-jar of Big Dig funding for
years, and the Big Dig took way longer and was way more expensive than
first estimated. Plus, i don't have a real job, and i needed to drive
an hour and a half round trip to vote today, so give me a break.
Anyway, one were so inclined at the toll booth, one could take two
tickets from the machine that spits out tickets instead of one. Then,
later, when one is coming back, one could theoretically get off the
exit next to the exit that one originally got to tickets from. This
would mean that the toll collector would assume you only came from one
stop away, instead of all the way from Boston. This means savings on
the trip back.

Exit 10, 11, 11a, 12, 13, 14, 15
Collect 2 Purple Tickets, at 11, Use 1 at 15.
Save second Purple Ticket.

Exit 10, 11, 11a, 12, 13, 14, 15,
Use second Purple Ticket at 10 Collect 1 Pink Ticket and discard.
I would of course never dream of actually doing this.... especially if you are a police officer reading this. ;)
EDIT: Given Dr. Harmon's claim I have not completed the task until I have claimed that I actually did this task, I hereby claim to have done this task myself with no help from others.
Pink Ticket
If you can't read it, the Worcester (#10) exit says $2.45
Purple Ticket
Here the Worcester (#10) exit says $0.25
Pink Money
The ticket, and the $2.45 it costs to use.
Purple Money Dishwasher
The purple ticket with the amount it costs to use it.
Cha-Ching!
The savings.

Made the slightly more obvious by the fact that Harmon hasn't commented yet...
It's a good method of cheating, but unless you claim to have implemented it I'm not sure the task has actually been fulfilled. (That said, since all praxes are fiction anyway you won't have to do anything other than delete that third-to-last sentence...)
They didn't say I had to cheat well :-P
I also posted the word 'YOINK' on Frostbeard's version.
Dearest Mat,
unless you are going to pay for psychotherapy and carry me to places, you could not possibly provide enough encouragement. Once I begin my job and have finances, my self imposed exile will most likely fade away and then I shall crush the very foundations of our world.
