If a baseball and bat cost $110, and the bat costs $100 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

Of course this is only one of the questions but someone my age really doesn't care if the bat costs $100 more than the ball. I would go to the store, look at the price tags, add up the total, and make the purchase. All I care about is that I actually got what I wanted and how much its going to hit my credit card. Does that mean I'm intuitive or does it mean I wouldn't complicate my life with such a question in the first place? I'm more interested in the total.

I don't connect any of it to religion at all. My instinct was to relate it to an actual purchase rather than to dissect the question. It is more a question of relativity to where you are in life. If you are in school, you are accustomed to these kinds of questions that don't relate to real life situations unless you are comparing the price of two bats or two balls to get the best value. Imo this proves nothing about religion unless one assumes a religious person is too dumb to figure it out. Bible scholars are very analytical but not about mathematics. The Bible is not a Book to be taken at face value. It is full of everything in life and of stories to be dissected and related to other references in other stories as well as to our lives. It is hardly something that can be quickly understood.

To answer your question, the ball cost $5 but my first instinct was $10.
