A simple Mistake
We all make little mistakes, but sometimes the smallest of these can cost big money. Today's quiz is about a very small mistake that resulted in millions of dollars. Try the quiz - then reflect on your daily mistakes and the repercussions they may have. A new ship had just been constructed, and everything had pretty much gone to plan. However, near the end of the production, someone spotted that one of the lettters on the small sign displaying the ship's name had been put on back to front. As a result, tens of millins of US dollars had to be spent to correct the error. Today's brain warm up... How could such a small mistake cost so much money?
