I had to have the garage door repaired. I am renting so I called a service since the landlord said he would pay for it. The repairman showed up and said that the problem was that the motor on the opener was too small.
I said that it was a 1/2 horsepower motor which is pretty much standard.
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I told him that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.
I thanks him and fixed it myself.

Good going Carlos, 1/2 = 2/4, but then this person must not know fractions...

The way it was explained to Me is that fractions are division problems, 1/4 = 25%, 1/2 or 2/4 = 50%...

Tell him you will trade him 1/4 dollars for all the 1/2 dollars he can find.

The folks in the lab are innocent full stop.

Wait. All the folks in the Lab (that we know of) are above the legal age. They may not be guilty of anything at the moment, but they are no more innocent than you or I..... (8{)
