Needed is understand the difference between 40 and 42 hours. This is a Reading Comprehension exercise more than a Mathematics exercise.

A certain quantity of time worked is paid at time-and-a-half. Can you understand which quantity that is?

From time to time, we see some strange posts from @timeofer at this forum.

I decided to investigate an activity of this person at this forum, looking into his posts.

In this way, I learned that his the most essential function at this forum
is to re-post old solutions (without explanations and for unknown reasons).

So, now I have the answer to my concern, and want to share it.
