I was just in a clothing store this weekend and there was a rack of clothes that was 50%. The sales clerk said everything on that rack was an additional 25% off, so it's 75% off the original price. I asked is it 75% off the original price or 25% off the 50% of the price. Said it's the same thing. I said no it's not. She insisted it was. I said no, let's take a simple example. If it was $100 and it was 75% off it would be $25. But if it's 50% off and then 25% off that it will be $37.50. She looked totally dumbfounded. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
