A Problem
Taro showed the shopkeeper a piece of paper with something he wanted written on it. Even though they had it in stock, they wouldn't sell it to him. The next day, he showed them the same paper, and this time they sold it to him. Why? I found this problem online, which a friend once gave me. Replies might be delayed as I'll respond when I have time. [Update] We have a correct answer. However, if there's anyone who still wants to think about it, I'll continue the discussion if you ask questions. If you've given up or want to see the answer, please check the comment section.

What I want to buy is alcohol. Taro was underage the day before, but he turned 18 the next day and could buy it. How about this?

Does Taro's age matter? Does gender matter?

Was it because sales started the next day?

Is there a difference in how you get to the store between the day before and the next day, like walking, driving, taking the train, or a taxi?

Was the store you went to a pharmacy?

I got a prescription, but the pharmacy didn't have the medicine, so they said they'd order it by tomorrow. I went to pick it up the next day.

Did the prescription I brought yesterday expire?

The prescription I brought the day before had expired after 4 days, so the next day Taro went to the hospital, got a new prescription, and took it to the pharmacy.
