Quoted: Tversky and Kahneman conducted the following experiment
When contemplating the purchase of a $25 pen, the majority of subjects would drive to another store 15 minutes away to save $7
When contemplating the purchase of a $455 suit, the majority of subjects would not drive to another store 15 minutes away to save $7
The amount saved and time involved are the same, but people make very different choices

Mystery at it's best! Tons more pics via ahboon, and the answer to the trick towards the bottom if you want to spoil the mystery! Also, a Youtube video of him in action.
