Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fast Learner" data-source="post: 542597" data-attributes="member: 649">I saw that you stated it, but you contradicted it.A: A silver is a half-crown, so two silvers would be a full crown.B: 1/2 gold is a full crown, and with 10 silvers in a gold, five silvers would be a full crown.Both of those statements can't be true.The rest of them work fine, but this particular one doesn't work. If a silver was a fifth-crown or there were five crowns in a pound then it would work fine. I the other cases you don't span your "half-x" name between metals, but in this case you do and it just doesn't work out.Don't get me wrong: it's a cool idea. It's just mathematically flawed in this one case.</blockquote>
