Settling the Account
A man ordered dinner at an expensive restaurant. When the meal was brought to him, he looked at it, wrote the following note for the waiter, and left the restaurant:
1 0 2 0 0 4 1 8 0
The waiter took the note to the cashier, who understood its meaning and placed it in the cash register.
Can you determine what the note meant?
1 0 2 0 0 4 1 8 0

That's the idea ... actually it is:
I OUGHT TO OWE NOTHING FOR I ATE
1 0 2 0 0 4 1 8
NOTHING
0
A fairly loose interpretation of the letter "O" and the number "0"
... but the meaning is there.
