The World’s Best “Hardware Shop” Puzzle




Shown here are four patrons of the New Old Bennington Hardware Shop. Within the past week all of them have moved into their own condominiums up the road in the Friar Briar Estates. The estates are made up of nine beautiful units overlooking Loon Lake. The customers have come to the hardware shop to buy something that the builder forgot to include with each unit. One will cost just $1.00. Eight will still only cost $1.00, but sixteen will cost
$2.00. If they need one hundred and fifty, the total cost will be $3.00. Even if they order three hundred, they will still only pay $3.00. If this sounds confusing, believe me it isn’t. For a total of $4.00, they each got what they came for and went away happy.
What were the items that these people purchased?
