OK, how much did our winner yesterday pay for their ribbons?Originally Posted by Persi & Alley
I would really like to get on to the exciting KatKwery today.
But first we need to have a KatKwiz winner.
In other words, I am not getting soft at all.
Let's make this more exciting:
If somebody would hurry up and answer this question correctly in the next hour from me posting, you get 5,000 points.
OK, you are on the honor system here. STOP reading now if you want the 5,000 points.
*****You may be cheating if you go past this point*****
If you want 4,000 points, go back and read the question. We have been talking a lot about keywords lately. The keyword here is profit.
For 3,000 points, go read this link: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/profit
For the regular (ho hum) 2,000 points, pay attention to entry 3 d.
Oh wow! I guess I didnt think about that part! I thought you just meant the bonus... wow! I take back what I said about it being easy.Originally Posted by Persi & Alley

Dont worry, he would've got me on that one too! I didnt take the cost of the ribbons into considerations either!Originally Posted by BelongsToEvie
That's why I always hate answering these! Nothing is easy for me.
But, I tried that without reading under the **** and didn't see the keyword thing. Now I get it, but I've answered once, so someone else's turn!
Best of luck.
My objective is not to stump anybody.Originally Posted by Marianjela

Looks like you stumped us all at first. Well someone will come along with the correct answer soon now!
Oh, I know the answer - now - but I am at my limit for the month. Took me awhile, but I figured out if Yam was a premium member or not.Originally Posted by Persi & Alley

The objective today is to point out some things about ribbons that I think may need to be covered. For instance, in honor of your current wonderful idea, I purchased a gold ribbon. If you use your past knowlege of KatKwiz problems, you will be able to find out what I paid for it. But I am a premium member, was yesterday's winner a premium member? Today's question is a multi-quiz, covering more than one area. First, you have to go to yesterday's KatKwiz and see what I paid the winner in bonus points.
OK, out with it, it's just simple math from here...
This is the correct answer! Now I must show my way of finding the answer, which matches yours.Originally Posted by GoldyCat
4,723.8 profit
I was actually awake when you posted this today--finishing up at work. Went straight to bed when I got home, so figured it was far too late to enter. That was until I got the notice of points for yesterday's KatKwery (thanks) that said today's KatKwiz had not yet been answered correctly. So here's my answer.
Dont worry Janet (Jan, Evie, Evie's mom, Peach's mom, hey you, what's-her-name)Originally Posted by BelongsToEvie
8,000?
I always hate answering these, I get so embarassed!
Thanks! I probably would have jumped in with 6000 without thinking it through, if I'd been online when you posted the question.Originally Posted by Persi & Alley

First I had to read the question carefully, it asks specifically for the profit made on the ribbons. So the first number to be used is 6000, not 8000. Now we need to know if yam is a premium member. Click on Cat Forums above and scroll down to View Forum Leaders. Select that and scroll down to find a list of paying (premium) members. Yam is not on that list. From here I clicked on Shop Menu above and then on Most Sold. Item number 4. is Awareness Ribbons. Select View and you will find a list of every Awareness ribbon ever purchased. You could look for Yam here but you can just note the two different prices being paid for ribbons: 148.89 and 212.70. So yam had 6 ribbons and paid a total of 1276.2 points for the ribbons. The word profit is the key here so you would subtract the 1276.2 points paid from 6000. The answer, as you found is 4723.8. But no bonus points today.
I like these kinds of KatKwizzes. One question covers several areas and gets interesting responses that are hopefully cleared up. It also shows you that you do not have to be first to answer!
CONGRATULATIONS TO GOLDYCAT - 2,000 POINTS!
