Classic Bug (2)

Classic Bug (2): It is tempting to say that the maximum is -92, since -92 seems to be a bigger number than -12. But this is confusing the absolute value of a number with its position on the number line. If you are looking for the maximum of a list of numbers, you are looking for the number which is furthest to the right on the number line.

Or, think of this as pay. If Jill is paid -92 dollars a day and Joe is paid -12 dollars a day, who is paid the most? (And exactly which fast food restaurant do they work at?)
