After reading your post, I have a question.

The post says " . . . If Nathan had 4 times as much money as Nancy . . . ".

It is unclear to me, to which time moment does this statement relate :

    does it describe the conditions BEFORE exchange, or AFTER it ?

Please clarify.

If you decide to edit your post and make changes in it, then PLEASE
do not post it to me personally -

simply re-post it to the forum, as you regularly do it.

Thanks.
