A Norwich man decides to buy his physically identical twin sisters each a Valentine's Day present. A nearby Chinese discount shop is selling faulty scissors with either 2 male blades (MM) or two female blades (FF). He decides to buy a pair of both MM and FF scissors to take apart when he gets home to reassemble into 2 pairs of functioning MF scissors for his girlfriends.
Unfortunately, he can't remember if his sisters are left or right handed. He suspects they are both the same handedness, but he cant remember which. Neither can he remember which hand they have their extra finger on. Being identical, the extra finger is on the same hand for both of his sisters , but he can't recall whether it's on the favoured hand or not for either of the two women.
There are right-handed and left handed scissors available in both standard and large size (with bigger finger holes) and they all cost 5 quid because of the same defect.
How many pairs of scissors does he need to buy in order to give both of his sisters useable scissors and how much should he sell the remaining reassembled, workable pairs for in order to break even? |  | | |  |

As soon as he has found the receipts, he'll be posting the answer - I suspect. | | | |
