Weirdly, my brain went through those numbers as "20, 22, 5, 3, 2."

So they did get you at 3.99 -> 3!

Maybe because your brain wanted 5+3+2=10 instead of 5+4+2=11 ?

20+22+5+3=50 vs 20+22+5+4=51, since I was going left to right, but it works.

I got through a bunch of them fine, then the $3.99 tripped me up.

Ha! That’s what they want.

Now add the sales tax. And don’t forget about bag fees and to tip Tippy.
