I assume this has nothing to do with my recent puzzle about New York taking London's idea for traffic charges? Is New York relevant at all? They = a city? A council? A government? An official body? A sports team? A group of professionals? Them = [same questions]? | ||

"to save money" = to avoid spending money they would otherwise have spent? To gain something for less than it would otherwise have cost? Did "them" succeed in saving money using the same idea? But "they" failed? Is it relevant how many people make up either group? 1? 2? 3? 4? 5?... 10?... 50? 100? Did "they" misunderstand "them"'s idea? misapply it? | ||

***SPOILER*** So, here's the solution: The A and the B were going by a train. Each of the group consisted of three people. The A bought three tickets, while B bought only one ticket! During the trip, when the conductor started checking tickets, the B hid in a toilet. When the conductor passed near the toilet he noticed that someone is inside; he knocked and the B slipped their ticket under the door. The conductor, not realizing there are three people inside, moved on. The A witnessed this and decided to try this. Next time both groups went by train, the A bought oinly one ticket... ...and the B didn't buy any! when the conductor started checking tickets, the A hid in a toilet. B quickly knocked on the door. The A, thinking that it's the conductor knocking, slipped their ticket under the door. The B took the ticket and quickly hid in the toilet on the other side... | ||
