Old math: Bob has 2 Apple, Jane has 2 Apples. How many Apples are
there total?

New Math: Bob went to the market and purchased 2 Apples for 50 cents.
Jane went to the market and purchased 2 Apples for 78 cents. How many
Apples did both Bob and Jane purchase at the market today?

Today's Math: Bob left San Jose on Saturday at 3:15 PM to ride a train
at 50 Mph heading west along the equator towards El Salvador. After
visiting the currency exchange office on Mejuan Street across from the
St. Maria bakery owned by Enrico Sanchez, he left at 4:46 PM via
Handora's Taxi service heading south at 27 Mph to make it to the annual
weekend farmer's market. After walking approximately 1 hour and 15
minutes at 2 Mph through the farmer's market, his Russian copy of a Timex
digital watch beeped repeatedly when 6:01 PM had passed. Bob approached
an open vendor and asked to purchase native 2 red apples, not imports,
with his recently exchanged currency. Handing the farmer, Mr. Sojos, 37
pesos in 4 bills and 3 coins, he received 2 native red apples that are
approximately 3 hours 27 minutes old from the time they were picked.

Jane left New York on Monday at 1:52 PM on an American Airlines jet
airplane traveling at an altitude of 12,372 feet, a speed of 572 Mph,
with a headwind of 38 Mph east along the equator towards South Africa.
After a grueling trip of 13 hours 7 minutes, she arrived at the Airport
of South Africa in terminal A-22. At a speed of approximately 3 Mph, she
hurried to her expected limousine service owned and operated by Martin
Kalafent-Mefe, and arrived at 4:29 PM the next day. After checking her
Rollex time piece she acquired as a gift from her great grandmother in
1947 right after the war, it read 4:37 PM with a crescent moon dial
indicating the moon phase for the day. After getting into her limousine
at 4:42 PM, she ordered to be driven to the local market in South
Kabul-Afe. At an average speed of 37 Mph, it took her 28 minutes 52
seconds to reach her destination. Seeing that she already made a
currency exchange for $2.73, she exited the vehicle 5:14 PM and
approached a local apple vendor. Jane asked to purchase 2 Washington
import apples at exactly 5:17 PM. Mr. Obetafe, the owner of the apples,
sold her 2 Washington import apples for $2.52. Jane received 21 cents in
the form of 2 dimes and 1 penny as her change, and placed it in her left
pocket approximately 36 inches from the ground.

What was the inflation percentage on New Hampshire colonial currency
after the French & Indian war disrupted tobacco exports to London in the
18th century?
