            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.
