WHAT about tortillas???
Don't know for certain-surre, but it think it says "how many tortillas
can you get for the difference". Which, if so, it totally unfair,
because it requires that:
1) you have to do the subtraction
2) you have to be well-versed in realities (ie know the price of a
tortilla) and
3) you need to be able to do division
Compared to the "underline $20" that's a cruel and unusual punishment
and ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) should be notified instantly
