Puzzle
------
A customer at a 7-11 store selected four items to buy, and was told that
the cost was $7.11. He was curious that the cost was the same as the store
name, so he inquired as to how the figure was derived. The clerk said that
he had simply multiplied the prices of the four individual items. The
customer protested that the four prices should have been ADDED, not
MULTIPLIED. The clerk said that that was OK with him, but, the result was
still the same: exactly $7.11. What was the cost of the four items?

Web Addiction Holiday Sing Along!
---------------------------------
(Sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland")
Doorbell rings, I'm not list'nin',
From my mouth, drool is glist'nin',
I'm happy -- although
My boss let me go --
Happily addicted to the Web.
All night long, I sit clicking,
Unaware time is ticking,
There's beard on my cheek,
Same clothes for a week,
Happily addicted to the Web!
Friends come by; they shake me, Saying, "Yo, man!
Don't you know tonight's the senior prom?"
With a listless shrug, I mutter; I say "No, man;
I just discovered laugh-a-lot-dot-com!"
I don't phone, don't send faxes,
Don't go out, don't pay taxes,
Who cares if someday
They drag me away?
I'm happily addicted to the Web!
Happ-ilyyyyy, ad-dict-eeeed to the Weeeeeb!!! (Yeah!)
