Math Quiz This is a real math quiz so get your paper and pencil ready. BiaB style - RapJazz 2 - Jazzy hip-Hop Tempo - 90 BPM Bass - Ample bass - YingYang Drums - Presonus - Impact XL Piano = Velvet - 44 MKII chorus Guitar - Synthmaster One - DR Claptrap VS Strings - I divided the string track into 2 tracks: Chords - synthmaster - BT GlowFlies Single notes - synthmaster - Pad-Add Pad Me - trying to sing - FX-Waves vocal rider, Presonus Pro EQ, EZMix1, EZMix2 No effects on any of the instrument tracks PS - See/hear why I do instrumentals! A Math Quiz Two friends and I were having lunch It didn't cost us very much We divided the bill three ways So 10 bucks we each paid For the 4 out of 3 people who have a problem with math that is 10 times 3 equals 30 The waitress took our cash The bill was really 25 so she came back She gave us each a buck And took two for her good luck For those who took new math that is 3 times 1 is 3 plus 2 is 5, 25 plus 5 equals 30. So we only paid nine bucks each And that was a real treat We were happy that she took the two But something was askew For those who have a problem with math play close attention as this gets a little complicated The 10 we paid minus the 1 means we each paid 9 bucks 9 times 3 equals 27, now that doesn't suck The waitress took 2 and that was fine But 27 plus 2 equals 29 So what I want to know is Where in hell did the other buck go? Where in hell did the other buck go? Where in hell did the other buck go? Inquiring minds want to know!
Today I bought a doughnut without the sprinkles. Diets are hard!

That was fun and an interesting math teaser. I'll leave it to others to post a solution.

Haha, I've never heard you sing before! This was a fun song, something completely different.
The solution though...uh, let me see, eh..
I'll get back to you on that ;-)

Clever rhyme, but I'll need some time, to clear my mind... maybe a fiddle in the middle might help me solve this riddle.

Fun song! Nice to hear your voice.  The 10 we paid minus the 1 means we each paid 9 bucks
9 times 3 equals 27, now that doesn't suck
The waitress took 2 and that was fine
But 27 plus 2 equals 29When the waitress "took 2" from 27, that's generally considered "subtraction", not "addition".

Inquiring minds want to know! A clever use of causing confusion by doing the math backwards instead of forwards. In reality, the Bill was $25, the waiter took $2 and three friends got $1 each. $25 + $2 + $3 = $30 (The $27 includes the waiter's tip) Anyway, clever song and lyrics, "Mario the rapper"

Very cool song Mario. Excellent vocal. Loved your lyrics. Backtrack was well done. I want to know where the extra buck went as well. I think the cook got it

Mario,
A really good mix and a creative, quirky write. I really like the insertion of the spoken word between the verses. The vocal works really well for the song (you shouldn't be shy about doing more of that!). Good stuff!
All my best,
Deej

But 27 plus 2 equals 29When the waitress "took 2" from 27, that's generally considered "subtraction", not "addition". I should have said the waitress took 2 from the 30 but I couldn't sing that fast! But you are right. Thanx for listening.
