to buy A pencil you have to buy 100
to buy A eraser you have to buy 100
You can buy just one pen
you have to buy the pencils and erasers in 100s to share A one of each with 100 children

Think atdc has cracked it, we don't know whether you can buy individual pens/erasers.
I would reply to this question with a copy of "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" or some other such grammar related tome.

Bloody hell I think you are right.
Such a stupid question to ask a 10 year old.

Back to the stupid questions.
What is the answer to this
Pencils cost 100 for £14
Pens cost 18p each
Erasers cost £9 for 100.
If I bought a pencil, an eraser and a pen for 100 children how much would I spend? How much would I spend on each child?
Without reading any of the other responses I'm going to go for:
41p total and 0.18p per child. Not sure how they're going to share that pen between them but that's their problem.
How on earth do you come up with 0.18p per child though? Surely should be 41p/100?
I bought a pencil and an eraser for myself, that was 23p
I bought a pen for 100 children to share between them at 18p

That's what Jake has answered.
I think it's 41p total and 0.41p per child.
I just don't get why they do this. I'd be tempted to mark 3 different answers as right. meh.
I used to be told that there were no trick questions in exams.

Even by your own measure, your answer is wrong, cos if they only buy one of everything, they don't spend the same on each child. They spend the total cost on the first child and nothing for every subsequent one.
But it's all nonsense. Jake is obviously right.

All I know is I would bet decent money Jake's answer will be marked incorrect.

This is what we were taught when I did a PGCE for Maths. I suspect the principle is still the same so it's down to teachers not realising that what they say is ambiguous.
My boss has a massive bugbear about this in general - nothing to do with teaching - people not realising what they say is ambiguous. Every day he has to ask clients to clarify exactly what they mean, and most of them don't realise they haven't said something specific.

That's just the nature of (non-formal) languages though, particularly English.
Ambiguities arise due to the nature of the language and they are exacerbated by people being careless when they speak/write.
When I was a Systems Designer, a significant part of my work used to be related to resolving ambiguities and omissions in specifications.
When I went on a course a few decades ago we were invited to provide as many different meanings as we could for the simple phrase "Mary had a little lamb".
Attendee 1 came up with "Mary use to own a small lamb"; attendee 2 came up with "Mary ate a small portion of lamb" and Dafydd came up with something entirely different.

It reminds me of this;
Mom sent me shopping to buy a loaf of bread and said if there were any eggs buy I was to buy a dozen.
She clipped me round the ear when I turned up with 12 loaves.
