[Question]Jim buys a wedding ring for $10,000. He gets his wife a ring that is twice that much and sells the first one for half its value. How much is he out of pocket?
[Answer]The second ring cost 2 * 10000 = $20,000. He sells the first ring for 10,000 / 2 = $5000. So he is out of pocket 10000 - 5000 = $5000. So that means he is out of pocket 20,000 + 5000 = $25,000. The answer is 25000.

Q: Jan's three-eyed lizard has 3 times more wrinkles than eyes, and seven times more spots than wrinkles. How many fewer eyes does the lizard have than the combined number of spots and wrinkles?
A: Three times more wrinkles than three eyes is 3 * 3 = 9 wrinkles. Seven times more spots than wrinkles is 7 * 9 = 63 spots. Therefore, the combined number of spots and wrinkles on the lizard is 63 + 9 = 72 spots and wrinkles. Thus, the lizard has 72 - 3 = 69 fewer eyes than spots and wrinkles. The answer is 69.
