I decided to solve this problem in the conventional manner. I decided to buy some.

‘hah! 40! Are you crazy? Where do you think I am from? Chennai? Local chele aami. I will take 6 pieces and wont pay a paise more than 20Rs’, I craftily mentioned.
He looked at me with an expressionless stare, picked up 6 oranges, put it in a bag and gave it to me.
I gave him Rs 20. Left with a smirk. And then it hit me.
PS: No observation on my mathematical prowess will be tolerated. That has nothing to do with this.

He replies, "Yes, but I'm very hungry. So can I have it cut in eight pieces instead of six?"
