Recently, detectives discovered the proceeds of a robbery. It was a small bundle of $5 notes numbered from 759385 to 759500. How much money was in the bundle?
Spoiler
580 bucks.

edited because I didn't read the original numbers correctly.

LMAO! I want to rob banks with you. As long as I'm in charge of splitting the take. You get $40 and I get ..... the rest!
I'm laughing at you in the friendliest way possible. I got that one wrong too and it was MY question. So you can laugh at me too.

I thought the second number was 759400. That was way off. Is it closer now?
technically you're closer but if I was your partner I'd be happier with the other number How are you getting your answer? I can tell you how I arrived at my answer.
I multiplied the number I came up with by 5, but evidently Mensa will not be sending me an application any time in the foreseeable future.
What about this?

$580

There's nothing in your spoiler, dqm, but since you peeked I'm assuming you got the right answer!
That's odd, I can see it.
yeah I'm a cheater. I peeked. But it was an accident. However after seeing the answer I showed how to arrive at it in an attempt to mitigate my lameness.

Ok, apparently I sometimes have issues seeing spoilers. Not all the time though - weird. I hit the 'printer friendly' view and could see what you wrote. Yep- that's it!
yeah no of course not! 54 is clearly too high. If each typist is averaging one page per minute and I have 54 of them going for 6 minutes I'm going to get WAAAAAAY more than 16 pages That'd be over 300 pages *smacks forehead*
Ok so back to the drawing board board. I say
Spoiler
3
if each one puts out a one page per minute then after 6 minutes I will have 18 pages.
