Came across this quote from an Amazon employee yesterday that had me scratching my head for a while:
Share This Post:We sold more books today that didn’t sell at all yesterday than we sold today of all the books that did sell yesterday.

Unintentional word puzzle

This is my understanding of the quote:
(no. of books sold today) - (no. of books left over yesterday) > (no. of books sold today) - (no. of books sold yesterday)
cool phrase:
here its my version in maths:
A: books sold yestereday
B: books not sold yesterday
“Today we sold more of B than A”
