[ WP ] Start a story like the beginning of a question in a math test .

Patty, Terry, Paul, Frank, Rick, Stanley, Cherisha, Rudy, Bud, and three traveling Chinamen are waiting on the one o' clock train. It is fifty eight minutes past seven in the morning, and they have all arrived on the same bus. Paul is taller than Frank, who is shorter than both Bud and Cherisha. Rudy is taller than Cherisha but not Bud. Bud is not as tall as Paul. Rick is also shorter than Bud, but not as tall as Paul. All three Chinamen are shorter than Paul. So when Patty jumped at the very sight of him, it was no surprise that Terry interjected, `` we call him Tall Paul.'' 
 
 The train costs ten pence each to ride one way, with each passenger present having an assortment of changes. The three Chinamen collectively have two hundred Yuan, which at current exchange rates, goes for about three pence, or one pence per Chinaman. Terry has over two thousand pence, or about twenty quid. The taxi ride to the currency exchange could cost upward of about ten quid, one way, consisting of a fourteen minute car ride, at a rate of about seven quid per dozen minutes traveled. Waiting times are reduced to about one quid per five minutes waiting. It can take anywhere from fifteen minutes to one hour to complete a transaction at the currency exchange. 
 
 Terry, upon checking his account balance with his smartphone, discovers that his debit account has been compromised due to a recent invasion of security at Tesco. One fourth of all transactions may be declined at random. Should a transaction come up declined, the card will deactivate and no longer be usable until it resets the next business day. Cherisha, Stanley, Rudy, and Rick all have seasonal passes for the train, but Rick has a genetic condition that prevents him from going out in the sun for extended periods of time and must wait in the lobby. It takes thirty minutes to clear lobby security checkpoints. 
 
 Paul, offended by the quip offered at the sight of his vertical stature, remarks quite shrewdly, `` AH! Oh I'm sorry, it was just your face that scared me.'' Patty lowered her head. For the past three years Patty has been taking fifteen milligrams of Xanax per month, on a breakthrough basis for sudden attacks of panic, not to exceed single doses of more than 2 milligrams per episode, with the expectation that she has fewer than 4 episodes per week. Last week, Patty uncovered a brown recluse in her coinpurse, and as such has emptied it of its contents in a desperate bout of terror. She had forgotten this event, but concurrently had forgotten to bring appropriate change. Patty has zero pence and must now rely on the kindness of strangers. 
 
 It is Tuesday, and Terry's second favorite day of the week is Tuesday, Followed by Thursday. His least favorite day of the week is Monday. He works weekends at the currency exchange balancing the books while financial institutions are shut down. He neither likes nor dislikes Saturday, but his least unfavorite day is Sunday. Terry has conveniently brought several variances in currency with him, and due to his big winnings and generous nature of a game of roulette last night, betting twenty quid on thirteen black. After a night of frivolities, Terry has two thousand quid left over. He wants to buy one prostitute for one hour of a quality of one hundred quid per hour once they arrive at their destination, and still have money left over for a nice hotel, and the return train ride home. Terry recognizes the Chinamen, and invites them along, promising between them that they can receive one prostitute to collectively share at a rate of no more than fifty quid per hour for no more than two hours, it taking two thirds of an hour for each Chinaman to get off. 
 
 If a chopping error propagates in the missile targeting system of a Patriot missile being used by joint US-UK forces, with a sigma factor of 5 for uncertainty, assuming radio transmission remains uninterrupted, and the ionospheric compensation protocols can cancel out the frequencies along the appropriate Megahertz bands, how long will it take the rocket to veer off course from its intended direction once it reaches ten kilometers traveling at a speed of three hundred kilometers per hour with a rate of up to two launches per hour, and be deflected at enough of an angle to reach the train platform where all twelve of them are standing, assuming it takes anywhere from one to ten missile launches to reproduce this error in digital processing, and as a special case assuming the one of the Chinamen is gay, what are the odds of finding him unharmed while performing fellatio on the young Serbian boy on the Tuesday lobby cleaning crew, with Rick filming? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
