If there’s 16 and she took 4,  half would be 8, so the remaining quarter would be another 4? As technically there was a half and a quarter left :dunno:

I understood it that there was 16 pieces of chocolate, Tracey tipped up and grabbed 4, so Rachel is left with 12.  A quarter of 12 is three, so if Tracey was indeed successful in her quest to obtain the remaining quarter, as demanded, then she (Tracey) would be skipping down the road with 7 pieces of chocolate in her grubby little hand whilst Rachel is left standing with 9 pieces, wondering how the hell she's just lost almost half her stash.

That's how I understand it.  Still not a very well thought out question

Being pedantic, that question makes no sense. What is a "remaining quarter". A quarter of what remaining from what? 

 

"What would she end up with?" Who, Rachel or Tracey? 

 

Impossible to answer without interpreting it one way or another.

Given Tracey is asking for the remaining quarter, it's alluding to what Rachel has left. Rachel had 16, Tracey took 4. 

12 remaining. Tracey asks for the remaining quarter of 12 is how I read it. So to me Tracey is asking for 3 more. 

 

The wording is crap. No one ever asks for a remaining quarter lol

 

The answer is very good. Teacher should commend the audacity...

Shouldn’t you be hibernating or something?

I read it as 16-4 is 12 and the remaining quarter would be 3. But the language still doesn't make any sense.

There's no 'phunny autographs' thread so I'll put this on here. 

 

Looking at a programme from the early 80s, I saw this:

Eh? That's pretty wild. I mean, what's going on here -

You'd never guess 'Lineker' in a million years, would you?  What's going on with those loops?

 

Then I realised. 

 

Gary's always been able to have a laugh at his own expense.
