4.0

This story is basically a math lesson in disguise. It also shows that if you are an honest person and business person, all the red tape shouldn’t apply to you. Shows what happens when the motive behind rules get lost and the focus is on the rules. 

It also shows in a kid friendly manner how discrimination can happen or be perceived and how to handle it when that happens.
