Kind of reminds me of Sissa Ibn Dahir's approach:

You know what a real baiter would do doncha? ...

Don't ask a baiter. Make the lad figure it out, and slap him till he gets it very very wrong. Very Happy

I think most lads wouldn't bother to do the calculation, but i expect they would be happy to receive daily payments and would get grumpy when the first one, even if for only 5ct, didn't come through.

My guess is that most lads would try to escalate the first amount and get a "normally sized" payment out of you: "never mind your five cent just send the fee of USD2150 today".
