You should ask the independent candidate you voted for President and see what they say

OK I've got it but I don't have complex math symbols on my keyboard so I'll have to spell it out. Using the John Nash theory of equilibrium this is how it works. Three peaches have a value greater than two bananas therefore in order to assign an equal value the two bananas must function at 150% in order to satisfy the three peaches. If the bananas are unable to perform @ 150% then no one will get anything.

If you've ever studied business economics you would be cracking up right now.

How many golfballs can fit in a school bus? I heard this one once and did the math in my head when I couldn't sleep the other night. I was actually right on according to other people's calculations after I checked. No cheating. Mental math only

I'm more amazed you'd know the exact interior dimensions and cubic area of a school bus, including rounded ceiling, seats, other appendages, rear engine, or front engine, engine setback, long bus, or the infamous short bus, the rest is just math. ;)
My dad was a whiz at doing math in his head, he could just see the numbers like they were on paper, used to get frustrated with me, because that was far more difficult for me to imagine.
My mental strength was having the ability to mentally picture and recall project drawings and electrical schematics. I could easily draw elaborate control circuits and mentally picture them, which in my profession was a real asset.
So often while stuck in traffic driving home, I'd spend the entire trip performing mental math problems, but I never did golf balls in a school bus. 🤣

Yeah I remember my math teacher in high school telling us that we need to learn this stuff, because it's not like we're going to be carrying calculators around in our pockets everywhere.

Any answer where the baskets are equal is correct.
