$5.37. That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me.


Actually, with my experience with kids making change, I'm surprised
many of them could figure out how to come up with $5.37. The cash-
register computer does the math, but many of them can't count out the
change.

They all carry lap-tops to school, but are any of them learning math?

Yeah, what is fun to do if they say the amount is $5.37 is to give
them a five, a one, a dime, and two pennies. They will look at you
with a WTF look, then enter it into the cash register and give you
your three quarters of change with a look of awe. "How did he do
that?"
