Lateral thinking puzzle:
A man walked into a hardware store. "How much will one cost?" asked the customer.
"Twenty cents," replied the shopkeeper.
"And how much will twelve cost?".
"Forty cents." was the reply. "Right. I'll take one hundred and twelve."
"Okay. That will be sixty cents, please." said the shopkeeper
What was the customer buying?
